You asked
Follow-up to FOI-0863-2324: Has this data been published? If not can you release it?
We answered
TfL Ref: FOI-1625-2324
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 15th August 2023. Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked, further to case reference FOI-0863-2324:
“Has this data been published? If not can you release it?”.
I can confirm that we hold the information you require.
We intend to publish the full reference list online by no later than the end of September 2023. As such, the information is exempt from disclosure at the current time under section 22 of the Freedom of Information Act, which can apply where information is “intended for future publication”.
Section 22 is a ‘qualified’ exemption, meaning we have to assess whether the public interest in applying the exemption outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure. We appreciate the need for openness and transparency in the running of our business, and the fact that you have requested the information is in itself an argument in favour of immediate release. However, in this instance we consider that the public interest favours the publication of this information in context and according to the pre-determined schedule. This is particularly the case given the planned publication is only a matter of weeks away.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely,
David Wells FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
