Summary: The complainant asked the Department for International Development (DFID), in a detailed eight part information request, for information regarding on which committees the UK appointed executive directors of the World Bank had sat each year from 2001 to date and what measures the DFID appointed executive director at the Bank had supported with particular reference to 2002. The Commissioner decided that appropriate searches for relevant information has been conducted by DFID in both its paper and electronic records and that no information falling within the scope of parts (2) -“ (8) of the request was held. He decided that DFID had complied with section 1(1) of the Act. DFID did not initially recognise that it held information relating to part (1) of the request which was exempt; as DFID failed to cite section 21(1) within the statutory time frame, it breached section 17(1) of the Act. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0010 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 21 - Complaint Upheld
