Cambridgeshire County Council

The complainant has requested Cambridgeshire County Council (the council) to disclose information relating to the introduction of an Interim Executive Board (IEB) at Spinney Primary School. The council disclosed some information but refused to disclose the remainder citing sections 36(2)(b) and 40 of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council is entitled to refuse to disclose the remaining withheld information in accordance with section 36(2)(b) of FOIA. However, the Commissioner has recorded a procedural breach of section 17(3) of FOIA, as the council failed to complete its deliberations on the balance of the public interest within a reasonable time. The Commissioner does not require any further action to be taken.

FOI 36(2)(b): Complaint not upheld FOI 17(3): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 186770
