The complainant has requested information in relation to correspondence received from the Local Government Ombudsman. The council provided its response, but provided its response outside the required 20 working days following receipt of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has breached section 10(1) of the FOIA, in responding outside the required timeframe. As the council has provided a response, the Commissioner does not require it to take any steps.
