Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant requested information with regards to access to his holdings. Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (the council) responded under the FOIA stating that the information was not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request falls under the EIR, but that regulation 5(3) of the EIR applies as the information is the complainant’s own personal data. This means that the council was not obliged to comply with the request. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.

EIR 5(3): Complaint partly upheld

Decision notice: 164355
