- Decision(s) FOI 1: Partly upheld, FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant made a request for information relating to ongoing correspondence they were engaged in with Staffordshire County Council (“the Council”). The Council disclosed information within the scope of part 1 of the complainant’s request and has confirmed that it does not hold the information requested in part 2 of the request.
The Commissioner considers that the Council was correct to confirm that it does not hold the relevant requested information.
The Commissioner’s decision is also that, in failing to state that it does not hold the relevant requested information within 20 working days of receiving the request, the Council has breached sections 1(1)(a) and 10(1) of FOIA.
The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
