The complainant requested information held in relation to the public authority’s alcohol policy. The Commissioner decided that one element of the request was not a valid request for recorded information under the Act. In relation to the remaining element of the request, the Commissioner found that the public authority did not hold the information. Whilst the public authority’s response to the complainant had not explicitly stated that the information was not held, the Commissioner does not now require the public authority to issue such a response, especially in light of his finding that the information is not held. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2008/0007 allowed.
