14 November 2016, Central government
The complainant has requested email correspondence to and from the Project Director of its transport policy regarding the delivery of a road scheme for a specific section of the M4 motorway. It also contained a request for all correspondence between the Minister for Economy, Science and Transport and the same Project Director for a specified period in 2015. The Welsh Assembly Government refused to comply with the request, relying on section 12(1) of the FOIA on the basis that the compliance would exceed the appropriate limit. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Welsh Assembly Government has complied with its obligations under section 12(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps. Mae’r achwynydd wedi gofyn am ohebiaeth ebost yn ôl ac ymlaen at Gyfarwyddwr Prosiect polisi trafnidiaeth ynghylch cyflawni cynllun ffyrdd ar gyfer darn penodol o draffordd yr M4. Roedd y cais yn cynnwys hefyd gais am yr holl ohebiaeth rhwng y Gweinidog dros yr Economi, Gwyddoniaeth a Thrafnidiaeth a’r un Cyfarwyddwr Prosiect ar gyfer cyfnod penodol yn 2015. Gwrthododd Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru (Llywodraeth Cymru) gydymffurfio â’r cais, gan ddibynnu ar adran 12(1) o’r Ddeddf ar y sail y byddai cydymffurfio yn mynd y tu hwnt i’r terfyn priodol. Penderfyniad y Comisiynydd yw bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cydymffurfio â’i rhwymedigaethau o dan adran 12(1) o’r Ddeddf. Gan hynny, nid yw’r Comisiynydd yn gofyn i’r awdurdod cyhoeddus gymryd unrhyw gamau.
FOI 12: Not upheld
