The complainant requested copies of correspondence and minutes of meetings between Islwyn Indoor Bowls Club and Caerphilly County Borough Council (‘the Council’). The Council initially stated that it did not hold the information requested. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council made a number of disclosures of information, subject to some personal data being withheld under section 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold any additional information other than that which it has disclosed (subject to some information within the documents being withheld under section 40(2)). However, the Council breached section 10 of the FOIA in failing to provide the information within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
