13 May 2015, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested from Worcestershire County Council (‘the Council’) information about meeting minutes. He has also asked the Council a number of supplementary questions. The Council says it does not hold the information that the complainant requested. It answered his supplementary questions. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold the requested information and has met its obligations under section 1 of the FOIA. He considers that the complainant’s supplementary questions are not held, recorded information and are therefore not valid requests under the FOIA. He has consequently not considered the Council’s response to these. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2015/0118 dismissed.
FOI 1: Not upheld
