Westminster City Council (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50362936 (20 July 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information about remuneration arrangements part-funded by Westminster City Council for a role associated with car parking. The public authority confirmed that it held the requested recorded information, but believed that it was exempt under section 21(1) (information accessible by other means) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -Act-). During the course of the Commissioner-s investigation, the public authority discovered further information, some of which it disclosed. The Commissioner has concluded, in light of the additional information found by the public authority, that section 21 was inappropriately applied in this case. He has also found that the public authority breached section 10(1) in failing to disclose all the information falling within the scope of the request to the complainant. As this has now been disclosed, he requires no remedial steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 21 - Complaint Upheld
