The complainant requested information relating to Shropshire Council’s highways contract. Shropshire Council (the Council) said that it did not hold the requested reports. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council did not hold information within the scope of the request. She therefore considers that the Council complied with its obligations under section 1(1) (general right of access to information) of the FOIA. However, the Commissioner found a procedural breach of section 10(1) (time for compliance) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
