The complainant has requested from the Financial Conduct Authority (‘the FCA’) 1) particular policy documents and 2) correspondence received from Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Society Limited. The FCA advised it does not hold information within the scope of part 1 of the request and that the information it holds that is relevant to part 2 is exempt from disclosure under section 44 of the FOIA (prohibitions on disclosure). The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: On the balance of probabilities, the FCA does not hold the specific information the complainant has requested in part 1 of his request and has complied with section 1(1)(a) of the FOIA. The information the FCA holds that is relevant to part 2 of the request is exempt information under section 44(1)(a) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the FCA to take any remedial steps.
