Scotland Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50378039 (09 August 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information relating to any meetings between representatives of the public authority and the Deputy Prime Minister or the Cabinet Office for the period 5 May 2010 to 5 August 2010. The public authority initially responded to this request by citing exemptions from Part II of the Act. However, at internal review stage the public authority altered its position and instead stated that it did not hold information falling within the scope of this request. The Commissioner finds that the public authority was correct in stating that this information was not held, but that it breached the Act in failing to advise the complainant of this within 20 working days of receipt of the request.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
