Type of engines in licensed taxis – Mr Ross Blyth (Mr Blyth) asked Glasgow City Council (the Council) for information as to the number of licensed taxis in the Glasgow area that have particular types of engines.

Following a review, in which the Council upheld its reliance on section 17 of FOISA, Mr Blyth remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the Council had dealt with Mr Blyth’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA, by advising Mr Blyth that it did not hold the requested information.
