Lancashire County Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50316139 (08 November 2010)
Summary: The complainant asked Lancashire County Council (-the Council-) to provide all the correspondence it held between the Council-s Pensions Service and the Department for Work and Pensions (-the DWP-) regarding a particular issue. The Council responded that it did not hold the information requested. The Commissioner investigated and decided that the Council had not interpreted the request correctly because it should have disregarded some subjective language used in the request. The Commissioner found that some relevant correspondence was held and this was provided to the complainant. The complainant alleged that further information was held. However, the Commissioner was satisfied that, on the balance of probabilities, no further relevant information was held. The Commissioner found that the Council breached section 1(1) and section 10(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-). He requires no steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
