The complainant has requested information about the policy considerations given to people with protected characteristics defined by the Equality Act 2010. The London Borough of Haringey originally refused the request as repeated, before later disclosing some information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the London Borough holds no additional information beyond that it has already disclosed – although it ought to have dealt with the request under the EIR. Because the London Borough did not disclose all the relevant information it held within 20 working days of receiving the request it breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require any further steps.
