Worcestershire County Council denied that information was held in respect of parts 1, 2 and 4, and did not treat parts 3, 5 and 6 as being valid requests for information. The Council asked the complainant to provide clarification in respect of part 7. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows. In respect of parts 1, 2 and 4, no recorded information is held. In respect of parts 3, 5 and 6, these are not valid requests for information under the FOIA.
