Thank you for your e-mail received by us on 7 October 2015 asking for
information about IDAG meeting minutes.
Section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) sets out the
requirements of a valid request for information and states that a request
must, amongst other things, “state the name of the applicant and an
address for correspondence.” As a full name has not been provided we are
unable to treat this as a valid request.
Could you please provide your full name to enable us to process your

Dear Ms Etkind
TfL Ref: FOI-1233-1516
Thank you for your further email received by Transport for London (TfL) on
27 October 2015 regarding your request for information about IDAG meeting
minutes.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can
confirm we do hold the information you require.
Please see the requested information attached.
Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under the Data
Protection Act 1998 (DPA) 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 DPA, specifically the first
principle of the DPA 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 of Schedule 2 of the Data
Protection Act 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 some 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

Thank you, Lianna. This was enlightening and relevant to my current requests about disabled parking in Birmingham and Wolverhampton. I never knew about IDAG until today.
