ICO The complainant requested information about subsidence at the Palace of Westminster under the EIR. The House of Commons denied holding any information relevant to the request. It subsequently failed to properly carry out the internal review requested by the complainant.The Information Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, HOC does not hold the requested information. However, he also finds that HOC breached regulation 11 of the EIR in failing to carry out an internal review within the requisite 40 working days. He does not require any steps to be taken in this case, but HOC should ensure there is no repetition of this breach.
