24 November 2016, Central government
The complainant has requested information about vehicles and households within a particular Nottingham postcode area. Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) released to the complainant information that it holds that falls within the scope of his request. DVLA has disputed that it holds the specific information requested and says that if it were to be found that it does hold the information, it is not obliged to comply with the request under section 12(1) of the FOIA (cost exceeds the appropriate limit). The complainant disputes both these points. The Commissioner’s decision is that DVLA does hold the specific information requested but that it is not required to comply with the request under section 12(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner considers that DVLA met its obligation under section 16(1) of the FOIA to provide advice and assistance. The Commissioner does not require DVLA to take any steps.
FOI 1: Upheld FOI 12: Not upheld FOI 16: Not upheld
