24 October 2017, Local government (City council)
The complainant requested information relating to IT audits carried out. Nottingham City Council (the council) provided some information and relied on section 12 of the FOIA to refuse the remaining. After some clarification of the information being sought, the council amended its response, no longer relying on section 12 of the FOIA but instead informing the complainant that the remaining requested information is not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the council does not hold any further information other than what has already been provided. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
FOI 1: Upheld
