27 March 2017, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested information relating to the processing of FOIA requests. The City of York Council (the Council) says that this information is already publicly available on their website and is therefore exempt from disclosure under the FOIA, under section 21. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 21 of the FOIA and does not require the Council to take any further steps.
FOI 21: Not upheld
