23 June 2014, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant requested information about expenditure on public relations advice, consultancy and outside public communications services for the financial year 2012/2013. Conwy County Borough Council (‘the Council’) refused to comply with the request as it would exceed the cost limit under section 12 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council correctly refused the request under section 12. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 12: Not upheld
