Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant has requested information about correspondence with the RNLI. Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council disclosed information in response. It subsequently acknowledged in its internal review outcome that additional information was likely to be held, but did not disclose it, or issue a valid refusal notice for any exception it intends to rely on. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council holds additional information which falls within the scope of the request. The Commissioner requires Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Conduct new searches for any additional information falling within scope of the request, and issue a fresh response to the request in which any additional information is either disclosed, or a valid refusal notice issued for any exception it intends to rely on.
