Summary: The complainant asked for information relating to foreign trips undertaken by council officers or elected members. Stoke on Trent City Council (-the council-) applied section 12(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-). The Information Commissioner (-the Commissioner-) investigated and decided that the council had not demonstrated that section 12(1) was engaged. He has ordered the council to confirm what information it holds and, in relation to information that it holds, to either supply that to the complainant or apply an exclusion or exemption under the FOIA other than section 12. The Commissioner found breaches of section 1(1)(a) and 10(1).
