West of England Combined Authority

In a multi-part request, the complainant requested information, held by the public authority and named individuals, on a number of related topics. The West of England Combined Authority (the Combined Authority) relied on section 12 (cost of compliance) of FOIA to refuse 
the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Combined Authority was entitled to refuse to comply with the request in accordance with section 12(1). The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
