Mid Suffolk District Council
30 January 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant requested a specific set of minutes as well as information relating to monitoring and deputy monitoring officers from Mid Suffolk District Council. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the council provided the complainant with information within the scope of the requests. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has complied with section 1 with regard to the requests MF660(i) and MF661(f) in now providing the information that is held, but in providing it outside the required 20 working days, the council has breached section 10. The Commissioner has also found the council has failed to comply with section 16(1) of the FOIA in failing to clarify with the requester the specific information sought at MF661(g). The Commissioner requires the council to issue a fresh response to the complainant after having clarified with him the exact nature of his request MF661(g) to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 1: Not upheld FOI 10: Upheld FOI 16: Upheld
