The complainant asked the public authority to provide him with all the information it held about a survey into the car parking provisions at a number of hospitals in the West Midlands. The public authority provided the complainant with a number of documents, but the complainant alleged that there were further documents held by the public authority which were not disclosed to him. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the public authority located a number of further documents covered by the scope of the request and provided these to the complainant. By failing to originally disclose these documents the Commissioner has concluded that the public authority breached section 1 of the Act. The Commissioner is now satisfied that the complainant has been provided with all of the information falling within the scope of his request and therefore does not require the public authority to take any remedial action.
