ICO The complainant requested various information concerning the operation of West Felton Parish Council (the Council). The Council did not provide a valid response to these requests. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has breached sections 1 and 10 of the FOIA in that it failed to provide a valid response to the requests within 20 working days of receipt. The Commissioner requires the Council provide a response to the requests that complies with section 1 of the FOIA. This response should, unless a provision removing that obligation is claimed, confirm or deny whether recorded information falling within the scope of each of the requests is held. In relation to any information that is held, this should either be disclosed, or reasoning valid for the purposes of the FOIA should be given as to why this information will not be disclosed.
