The document is a decision by the Information Commissioner regarding a complaint by Alison Rose Georgeson against the Government Employees Superannuation Board (GESB) concerning access to documents related to her superannuation account under the Freedom of Information Act 1992. The agency initially provided some documents but refused further access, claiming that additional requested documents either did not exist or could not be found. The Commissioner confirmed the agency's decision, stating that it had taken all reasonable steps to locate the documents and that any personal information about third parties was outside the scope of Georgeson's application. The decision also clarified definitions of personal and non-personal information and upheld the agency's interpretation of the timeframe for document requests.
