The complainant has requested information about revenue received by the public authority from what she termed ‘private investigative services’. The public authority eventually relied on section 12 to withhold the information and the complainant did not ask it to internally review this aspect of its response. However, she did complain to the Information Commissioner about the length of time taken by the public authority to respond to her request and he finds that it did breach the Act. The Information Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
