Brentwood Borough Council

The complainant has requested statistical information relating to ethnic and cultural diversity at Brentwood Borough Council (the Council). The Council refused the information under section 40(2) of FOIA, before amending its position to state that the information was not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council did not hold the requested information at the time of the request. However, he has recorded a procedural breach of section 1 and section 10 of FOIA, as the Council initially failed to respond to the request and also failed to confirm that it did not hold the requested information within 20 working days of receipt. The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken as a result of this decision notice.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 97762
