The complainant requested minutes of two meetings of the S4C authority. S4C provided some information but withheld other information under sections 36, 40(2), 41 and 43 of the FOIA. At the time of its internal review, S4C disclosed some additional information but continued to withhold other information. The Commissioner’s decision is that S4C breached section 10(1) by failing to comply with section 1(1) within the time for compliance, and section 17(1) by failing to provide a refusal notice within the time for compliance. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken. Please note that both English and Welsh language versions of the decision notice are included in the PDF below. Crynodeb: Gofynnodd yr achwynydd am gofnodion dau o gyfarfodydd awdurdod S4C. Rhoddodd S4C rywfaint o wybodaeth ond cadwodd wybodaeth arall yn ôl o dan adrannau 36, 40(2), 41 a 43 o’r Ddeddf. Adeg ei adolygiad mewnol, datgelodd S4C rywfaint o wybodaeth ychwanegol ond parhaodd i gadw gwybodaeth arall yn ôl. Penderfyniad y Comisiynydd yw bod S4C wedi torri adran 10(1) drwy fethu â chydymffurfio ag adran 1(1) yn yr amser a ganiateir ar gyfer cydymffurfio, ac wedi torri adran 17(1) drwy fethu â darparu hysbysiad gwrthod o fewn yr amser a ganiateir ar gyfer cydymffurfio. Nid yw’r Comisiynydd yn gofyn i unrhyw gamau gael eu cymryd.
