- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant requested information from Lancaster City Council (‘the Council’) regarding its decision to award an enhanced pension to a former town clerk. Although the Council provided some information, it refused to disclose the remaining information under sections 40(2) and 41(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’). The Commissioner has investigated and considers that the requested information is exempt by virtue of section 40(2) of the Act. He has therefore not gone on to consider the Council’s application of section 41(1).
