Forestry Commission England

The complainant has requested information relating to access agreement for licensed badger control activities. The Forestry Commission refused the request under regulation 12(5)(a) EIR – public safety. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation it became apparent that the public authority was seeking to neither confirm nor deny if information was held under regulation 12(6). The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority is not entitled to rely on regulation 12(6) to neither confirm nor deny holding the requested information with respect to regulation 12(5)(a). The Commissioner requires the public authority confirm or deny whether it holds information as described in parts 1 and 2 of the request and either disclose that information or issue a fresh refusal notice compliant with regulation 14 EIR.

EIR 12(5)(a): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 289489
