Dear Mr Ahmed

 

TfL Ref: FOI-1922-1819

 

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 19
October 2018 asking for the minutes and agenda for the last two bus safety
summits.

 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act. I can confirm that we hold some of the
information you require.

 

Attached are the job titles and companies who attended the 2017 and 2018
summits along with the agendas. Both Summits were events, not meetings, so
no minutes were taken.

 

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data
Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by
section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal
data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first
principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and
lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when
the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not
satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.

 

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable
to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

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

Dear Mr Ahmed

 

TfL Ref: 2221-1819

 

Thank you for your email received by us on 22 November 2018 as below.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. 

 

Unfortunately, from the description provided, we are unable to identify
the information you require.

 

To enable us to assist with your request, please can you explain in more
detail what information you are requesting when you ask for: ‘Just the
invite lst for 2017 and 2018. Can i also know who gives the invitation
together’ with any other details you think might help us locate the
information you require.

 

The Freedom of Information Act allows you to request recorded information
held by Transport for London. There are limits on the time that we are
required to spend determining whether we hold the information you are
requesting and the time spent locating, retrieving and extracting it.
Therefore you should identify the information that you want as clearly and
concisely as you can, specifying the types of document that you are
looking for. You might also consider limiting your request to a particular
period of time, geographical area or specific departments of the
organisation.

 

Although your request can take the form of a question, rather than a
request for specific documents, we do not have to answer your question if
it would require the creation of new information or the provision of a
judgement, explanation, advice or opinion that was not already recorded at
the time of your request.

 

Please note that the 20 working day deadline for responding to your
request will depend on when we receive satisfactory additional
information to help clarify your request.  

 

If we hear nothing further from you by 14 December 2018 your response will
be treated as a new request.

 

In the meantime, if you have any queries or would like to discuss your
request, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Ahmed

 

TfL Ref: 2232-1819

 

Thank you for your email received by us on 21 November 2018 as below.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. 

 

The job title and organisation name of the attendees for the 2018 summit
was attached to the previous response issued, which I have attached again
for ease here.  Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations
under Data Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as
required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of
this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the
first principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair
and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information
when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has
not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing
‘fair’.

 

We will now process your request for the invitee list for the 2018 summit.

 

In the meantime, if you have any queries or would like to discuss your
request, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Yours sincerely
