31 January 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information from North East Lincolnshire Council about actions undertaken in response to a specific complaint reference. The Council initially refused to comply with the request on the basis that it would disclose information that would be exempt under sections 40(1), 40(2) and 41(1). The Council subsequently clarified to the Commissioner that it had incorrectly cited these exemptions and instead should have refused to confirm or deny that it held relevant information under the exemption provided by section 40(5)(b). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied the exemption provided by section 40(5)(b). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
FOI 40: Not upheld
