The complainant requested from Northumberland County Council (‘the Council’) information for the specific constituencies relating to the Electoral Commission. The Council considered that it does not hold this information for the purposes of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is not held by the Council for the purposes of the FOIA, and that the Council is entitled to rely on section 3(2)(a) of the FOIA. Therefore, the Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.
