The complainant made three requests under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 for information relating to Members Voluntary Liquidation Schemes (MVLs). The Pensions Regulator applied section 12 as it stated it would exceed the cost limit to comply with two of the requests. The Commissioner considers that section 12 was correctly applied. As the three requests were for information of broadly the same or of a similar subject matter, as it would exceed the cost limit to comply with some of those requests, the Regulator was not obliged to comply with any of the requests. The Commissioner has not therefore considered the other exemptions applied by the Regulator.
