East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service
The complainant has requested information about fire inspections and copies of fire inspection reports from East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service (“ESFRS”). ESFRS provided some information about fire inspections but refused to provide any fire inspection reports. It did not cite any exemptions. The Commissioner’s decision is that, in failing to properly address the request, ESFRS has breached section 17(1) of FOIA. He requires ESFRS to either disclose the fire inspection reports or issue a refusal notice, which complies with section 17 of FOIA, clearly explaining why they are exempt from disclosure.FOI 17: Complaint upheld
