HS2 Ltd

The complainant has requested information about the HS2 project referring to a transcript of the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee hearing on HS2 held on 11 July 2017. HS2 refused to provide the requested information under section 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii), section 36(2)(c) and section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and as far as the Commissioner considers the withheld information to be environmental, it argued regulation 12(4)(d) and 12(5)(e) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) would apply. The Commissioner’s decision is that HS2 should have dealt with the request under EIR as the information requested is environmental under regulation 2(2) EIR. She considers that HS2 correctly applied regulation 12(4)(d) EIR to the withheld information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.

EIR 12(4)(d): Complaint not upheld
