The complainant has requested information about total costs attributed to Bovine TB over the last 10 years, itemised as clearly as possible. In addition the complainant asked for projections for the next 10 years and asked that these also be quantified and qualified. Defra has not responded to this request. The Commissioner’s decision is that Defra has breached section 10 FOIA in the handling of this request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide a response to the complainant’s request in compliance with the FOIA. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
