The complainant requested from North Somerset Council (the Council) information consisting of email correspondence between two named Council officers and Kingston Seymour Parish Council during a specified period of time. The Council disclosed some information in its initial response and additional correspondence in the outcome of its internal review. However, the complainant was not satisfied with the amount of information received. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council did not hold any further information within the scope of the request, but breached section 10(1) of the FOIA in providing the information it did hold outside the required 20 working day response time. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
