The complainant requested the disclosure of evidence held by High Speed Two Limited, a company set up by the Department for Transport that demonstrates the technical feasibility of the proposed high speed rail link from London to Birmingham. During the course of the investigation the Commissioner advised HS2 Ltd that it had not interpreted the complainant’s request correctly. HS2 Ltd, as a result, conducted a fresh search and furnished the complainant with information that fell within the scope of his information request. The complainant argued that HS2 Ltd held more information. The Commissioner finds that HS2 Ltd holds no further relevant information other than that now disclosed to the complainant. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
