Welsh Government
The complainant requested information about the siting of a particular communications cabinet. The Welsh Government stated it did not hold some of the information requested and withheld information about costs under section 43 of the FOIA. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Welsh Government agreed that the request was for environmental information and reconsidered the request under the EIR. The Welsh Government maintained that it did not hold information relating to the siting of the cabinet and confirmed that it considered information held relating to costs to be exempt under regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Welsh Government does not hold any further recorded information relevant to the request. The Commissioner is also satisfied that the Welsh Government has correctly applied regulation 12(5)(e) to the withheld information. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
