The Freedom of Information Act 2000
Request
I am seeking information on the following subject:
Please provide any evidence obtained within the last two years that the Gambling Commission's processes have been prejudiced by disclosure of information under the Freedom of Information Act where section 31 has been engaged by the Gambling Commission but the public interest favoured disclosure.
Response
Dear Sir
Thank you for your request which has been processed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
In your email you have requested ‘any evidence obtained within the last two years that the Gambling Commission's processes have been prejudiced by disclosure of information under the Freedom of Information Act where section 31 has been engaged by the Gambling Commission but the public interest favoured disclosure.’ The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) gives individuals the right to request only recorded information held by public authorities, such as the Gambling Commission. I can confirm that we do not hold any recorded information falling within the scope of your request.
Review of the decision
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your Freedom of Information request you are entitled to an internal review of our decision. You should write to FOI Team, Gambling Commission, 4th floor, Victoria Square House, Victoria Square, Birmingham, B2 4BP or by reply to this email.
Please note, internal review requests should be made within 40 working days of the initial response. Requests made outside this timeframe will not be processed.
If you are not content with the outcome of our review, you may then apply directly to the Information Commissioner (ICO) for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have already exhausted the review procedure provided by the Gambling Commission.
The ICO can be contacted at: The Information Commissioner’s Office (opens in a new tab), Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
