Summary: The complainant requested information about the status of a piece of land, Transport for London-™s (TfL) arrangement to clean it and its relevant cleaning policies under the Freedom of Information Act (-˜the FOIA-™). TfL didn-™t respond in 20 working days and then took even longer to provide all the requested information. The complainant referred the delays to the Commissioner (-˜the Information Commissioner-™). The Commissioner considers that part of the information was environmental information and fell to be considered under the Environmental Information Regulations (-˜the EIR-™). He finds TfL-™s failure to provide that information in 20 working days was a breach of Regulation 5(2). For the rest of the information, the Commissioner finds that TfL breached section 10(1) of the FOIA by not providing it within 20 working days. As the information has been provided, the Commissioner requires no remedial steps to be taken in this case.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld
