Summary: The complainant made two requests under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the Act-) to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (-BIS-) concerning how it dealt with a complaint that she made to it. For the first request, BIS explained that the information was first party personal data and was exempt by virtue of section 40(1). It later revised its position and confirmed that it held no relevant recorded information. For the second request, BIS provided the information that it had under the DPA. The Commissioner finds that BIS was wrong that it did not hold any relevant recorded information for request one and finds breaches of section 1(1)(a) and 10(1). However, the Commissioner also finds that all the information held was first party personal data and was exempt by virtue of section 40(1). He requires no remedial steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
