The complainant requested a copy of the train and duty analysist sets of diagrams (TADA) from Transport for London (TfL). The request was refused on the grounds of health and safety (section 38 of FOIA). The Commissioner has found that section 38(1) is engaged and that in all the circumstances the public interest in disclosure is outweighed by the public interest in maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any remedial steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 38: Not upheld
