29 September 2015, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested minutes of meetings of the Stoke-on-Trent Safeguarding Board and of any sub-committee meetings attended by Stoke-on-Trent City Council (the “Council”) representatives to that Board. The Council argued that it does not hold this information for the purposes of the FOIA (section 3 refers). It upheld this position at internal review. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council does not hold the information for the purposes of the FOIA. No steps are required. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
FOI 1: Not upheld
