Milton Keynes Council

The complainant requested information held by Milton Keynes Council (the council) about a particular bus route. The council provided the complainant with some information, but advised that it considered other information relevant to the request to be exempt from disclosure under section 43(2) of FOIA. Following the Commissioner’s intervention, the council provided the complainant with some additional information. The council also revised its position, now stating that it did not hold some of the information previously considered to be relevant to the request. This included the information which the council had claimed to be subject to the exemption at section 43(2) of FOIA. It is the Commissioner’s decision that, on the balance of probabilities, the council does not hold any information relevant to the request in addition to that which has already been provided to the complainant. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps. FOIA 1: not upheld
