Welsh Government
The complainant requested information about licenses for badger trapping/testing/culling. The Welsh Government provided some information but withheld other information under section 22 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request should have been handled under the EIR as opposed to the FOIA. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Welsh Government disclosed the withheld information. In failing to treat the request under the appropriate access regime the Commissioner has determined that the Welsh Government breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld
