The complainant has requested a copy of a particular ‘report’ he believes was written. The Environment Agency handled the request under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) and its position is that it does not hold this information. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The Environment Agency wrongly handled the request under the EIR, but it does not hold the specific information the complainant has requested and has complied with section 1(1)(a) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Environment Agency to take any remedial steps.
