- Decision(s) FOI 1(1): Not upheld, FOI 36(2)(b)(ii): Not upheld, FOI 36(2)(c): Not upheld
The complainant has requested an unredacted version of a particular Board paper and any appendices associated with that paper. The Canal & River Trust (CRT) maintained the redactions previously made to the report under sections 36(2)(b)(ii) and 36(2)(c) of FOIA. It also disclosed one document associated with the report and has advised it holds no other relevant appendices to that report. In the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, CRT advised that, due to the passage of time, it could now disclose a little information it had previously withheld. The Commissioner’s decision is that the remaining information in the Board paper that CRT has redacted is exempt information under sections 36(2)(b)(ii) and 36(2)(c) of FOIA. The Commissioner also finds that, on the balance of probabilities, CRT holds no further information within scope of the complainant’s request.
