House of Commons (Decision Notice): ICO 5 Jan 2011

ICO The complainant requested from the public authority details of its intranet contents, namely its root page and a site map or summary of its contents. During the investigation the Commissioner has found that the public authority provided all the requested information within the time for complying with requests provided by section 10 of the Act. The Commissioner accepts the position that the public authority does not exist as an entity during the dissolution of Parliament and is therefore not a public authority for the purposes of the Act for that time, so cannot be under a duty to comply. In accepting this, the Commissioner also considers the public authority’s response to have been prompt.
Section of Act/EIR and Finding: FOI 1 – Complaint Not upheld, FOI 10 – Complaint Not upheld
