Summary: The complainant has requested information from Walberswick Parish Council (the council) relating to an email/letter sent by a named person to the council; legal advice that had been given to the council; and the advice/information it had obtained in order to charge £25 per hour for the parish clerk-™s time. The council relied initially on section 14 of the FOIA and then withdrew that reliance. It later stated that the requested information was either -˜not held-™ or had been deleted, though some further information was eventually provided. The Commissioner-™s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, no further information is held that has not already been supplied by the council to the complainant. The Commissioner requires no further steps to be taken.
