London Borough of Hackney

The complainant has requested information from the London Borough of Hackney (“the Council”), in relation to obtaining a copy of the open electoral register in large print. The Council refused the request, advising that it does not hold the requested information for the purposes of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is held by the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) in their statutory role and is therefore not held by, or on behalf of, the Council for the purposes of FOIA. The Commissioner, however, finds that the Council breached section 17(1) of FOIA, as its refusal notice was not adequate. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 1(1): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 140690
