Post Office Limited

The complainant has requested information on from the Post Office on money spent on defending the Post Office and prosecuting its workers during a specific time period. The Post Office provided the information at parts 1 and 3 of the request and for part 2 provided links to some previous responses but did not cite an exemption for refusing the request. It later revised its position and stated the information was not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Post Office does not hold the information falling with the scope of part 2 of the request. However, as it failed to confirm the information wasn’t held it has breached section 1(1)(a) and section 10 FOIA. No steps are required.
