The complainant has requested information about who approved and drafted specific interim guidance. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) provided information regarding who approved the guidance (the first part of the request) and stated that it did not hold information within the scope of the second part of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the EHRC does not hold information within the scope of the second part of the request. The Commissioner finds that the EHRC failed to comply with sections 1(1)(a) and 10(1) of FOIA because it did not clearly confirm, within 20 working days, whether information falling within the scope of part two of the request was held. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
