  • Decision(s) FOI 1(1): Upheld

The Commissioner’s decision is that the Health and Safety Executive correctly applied the exemption under section 30(1)(b) of FOIA to some information within scope of the request about fairground incidents. This exemption concerns investigations and proceedings. However, there was a breach of sections 1(1) and 10(1), which concern timeliness. The Commissioner doesn’t require further steps.
