Oil and Pipelines Agency (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FER0359172 (29 June 2011)
Summary: The complainant asked the Oil & Pipelines Agency (the -public authority-) to provide information relating to a copy of a Site Safety Report. The public provided some of the Report but withheld the remainder citing the exceptions in sections 12(5)(a) and 13(1) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (the -EIR-). The complainant has only contested the withholding of information in two appendices of the Report which is withheld under exception 12(5)(a). The Commissioner-s decision is that the exception is engaged and that the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs that in disclosure. The complaint is not upheld. The public authority-s handling of the request also resulted in breaches of certain procedural requirements of the Act as identified in this Notice. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0143 withdrawn.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12.4.e - Complaint Not upheld
