Summary: The complainant made a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office as to whether it held any information on, and whether it had sought legal advice about, alleged felonious practices by the World Bank Group. The public authority responded that it did not hold information in respect of the request. The Commissioner investigated and has concluded that, on the balance of probabilities, the information requested was not held by the public authority and it therefore complied with section 1(1)(a) in denying that it held the requested information. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0126 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld
