Hounslow London Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2006] UKICO FS50097435 (31 May 2006)
Summary: The complainants requested from the council; names, email addresses, telephone numbers and fax numbers of all council employees as well as information about which department they worked for and the head of each department. The request was refused on the grounds that to provide this information would exceed the cost limit. The Commissioner decided that the council had provided insufficient evidence to support this refusal and requires it to either communicate the information or issue a refusal notice. If section 12 is claimed again, he further requires the council to advise and assist the complainants in reframing their request.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Upheld
