The complainant has requested from the Greater London Authority (GLA) minutes from the meeting between Mayor Khan and Mayor Chowdry of Sylhet City Corporation, Bangladesh which took place at the City Hall on 4 June 2024. The complainant also requested a list of all attendees to the meeting.
GLA stated that it did not hold the minutes of the meeting but it provided a list of five attendees, specifying roles and names of three whilst withholding names of two junior officers.
The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, GLA does not hold recorded information in relation to the minutes and has therefore complied with section 1(1) of FOIA. He has also considered that GLA was correct to withhold the names of two attendees on the basis of section 40(2) (personal data) of FOIA.
The Commissioner does not require further steps.
