Medical Research Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50454306 (04 December 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested information from the Medical Research Council (-MRC-) regarding current and proposed medical research projects. The MRC disclosed some information; however it applied the exemptions under sections 22, 40 and 43 of FOIA to the remainder (-the withheld information-). The complainant had no issue with the application of the exemptions, however he complained to the Commissioner regarding the delays in providing him with all information within the scope of his request. The Commissioner-s decision is that the MRC has failed to comply with the provisions of sections 1(1)(a), 1(1)(b) and 10(1) of FOIA. However, since all disclosable information within the scope of the complainant-s request has now been provided to him, the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
