22 June 2017, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested information with regards to SIA (Security Industry Authority) licences. The council initially considered that the complainant had not requested recorded information. Following contact from the Commissioner, the council amended its stance and responded that it did not hold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council does not hold the information requested. She also found that the council breached section 10(1) of the FOIA due to the time it took to respond. As the council has now responded and found the requested information is not held by it, she does not require the council to take any steps.
FOI 1: Not upheld
