Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council
The complainant has requested from Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council (‘the Council’) a copy of a sub-contract covering the kennelling of stray dogs on its behalf. The Council initially responded that it did not hold any relevant information, which the complainant disputed. During the Commissioner’s investigation the Council located a copy of the sub-contract and disclosed it to the complainant. However, the complainant believed it was incomplete. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council failed to locate and disclose the requested information within 20 working days, which is a breach of section 1(1)(a) and (b) (General right of access) and section 10(1) (Time for compliance) of the FOIA. However, she is satisfied that it complied with its duty under section 1(1)(b) of the FOIA to disclose all the information it held falling within scope of the request.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint partly upheld
