ICO The complainant requested information from Copeland Borough Council (‘the council’) relating to a collection of art works known as ‘The Copeland Collection’. The council sent a reply however it took longer than 20 working days to respond and it did not complete an internal review. The complainant complained about these issues and also alleged that the council had not provided all the recorded information held. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council breached section 1(1)(a) and 10(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the FOIA’) for not confirming that it held some of the information and that some of it was not held within 20 working days. It also breached section 1(1)(b) and section 10(1) because it did not respond to the request within 20 working days and it did not provide all the information it held at the time. The Information Commissioner (‘the Commissioner’) does not require any steps to be taken.
