Summary: The complainant made a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -˜Act-™) to Lancashire Police Authority (the -˜Authority-™) for information relating to why it had not published an article about the Professional Standards Department in its leaflet -˜Dialogue-™ in August 2007, as it had stated it would in the previous edition. The Authority provided a response in which it explained that all articles in -˜Dialogue-™ are driven by interaction between the public and the Authority at public meetings and are subject to the editor-™s discretion. It clarified that there had been no deliberate omission of the article and confirmed it did not hold any information in relation to the request in accordance with section 1(1)(a) of the Act. The Commissioner has concluded on the balance of probabilities that the information requested was not held by the Council and therefore it complied with section 1(1)(a) in denying that it held any information. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2010/0173 dismissed.
