Summary: The complainant made a freedom of information request to Standards for England (SfE) for a copy of a report concerning the conduct of a named councillor. SfE refused disclosure of the report under section 44 (prohibitions on disclosure) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -Act-). During the course of the Commissioner-s investigation, SfE reconsidered its refusal and agreed to release the report to the complainant subject to a number of redactions. SfE considered that the redacted information was covered variously by the exemptions set out at section 31 (law enforcement), 38 (health and safety), 40 (personal data) and 44. The Commissioner has investigated the complaint and is satisfied that all the redacted information is exempt from disclosure under section 44 of the Act by virtue of the statutory prohibition in section 63 of the Local Government Act 2000. The Commissioner does not therefore require any steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 44 - Complaint Not upheld
