- Decision(s) FOI 10(1): Upheld, FOI 14(1): Not upheld
The complainant has requested meta-data associated with an earlier information request of theirs to the UK Health Security Agency. The UK Health Security Agency (“UKHSA") acknowledged the request but failed to respond within the time limits for compliance. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council should have relied on section 14 of FOIA to refuse the request and has applied this exemption himself proactively. The Commissioner also finds that UKHSA breached section 10(1) of FOIA as it failed to provide its response within the statutory 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
