North Yorkshire County Council
In a five part request, the complainant has requested information about a complaint. North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) advised that it holds no information relevant to some parts of the request. NYCC also disputed that the remaining parts of the request were valid requests under FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: All parts of the request can be categorised as a valid request for information under section 8(1) of FOIA. However, NYCC should have relied on section 40(5B)(a)(i) of FOIA to neither confirm nor deny it held any of the requested information. NYCC Breached section 17(1) of FOIA as it did not refuse the request within the required timescale of 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require NYCC to take any corrective steps.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld
