Membership of Committee – Mrs Smith requested from West Lothian Council (the Council) the names and posts of members of the Committee which had approved the Council’s Fair Treatment at Work Policy. The Council responded by releasing the names of the Councillors present at the relevant meeting of the Policy, Partnership and Resources Committee. Mrs Smith was also advised that minutes could be viewed on the West Lothian Council website. Following a review, Mrs Smith remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the Council had dealt with Mrs Smith’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA, by providing her with the information she had requested and reasonable advice and assistance to facilitate a further request.
