The complainant requested information relating to the Emergency Active Travel Fund. Surrey County Council (the Council) provided some information within the scope of the request. The complainant considered that further information should be held, namely information within the scope of parts (3) and (5) of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council holds information falling within the scope of parts (3) and (5) of the request, which it has not sought to exempt from disclosure and which it has not disclosed. It has therefore breached section 1(1)(b) and section 10 of the FOIA. However, she is satisfied that, on the balance of probabilities the Council does not hold any further information within the scope of those parts of the request. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: disclose, to the complainant, the spreadsheet provided to the Commissioner during the course of her investigation.
