The complainant has requested an investigation report and supporting documentation, for a specified case before the public authority’s Standards Committee. His complaint is that he has not received a response to his request. The Commissioner’s decision is that Nottingham City Council failed to comply with the requirement to respond to the complainant’s request within 20 working days, which is a breach of section 10(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Commissioner notes that, following his receipt of the complaint, Nottingham City Council subsequently provided the complainant with a response to his request. Consequently, he does not require the public authority to take any further steps to comply with the requirements of FOIA in this decision notice.
