The complainant requested the names and corresponding box markings for each grade 6 (G6) lawyer, within a legal team at DEFRA, in the 2009 moderation. The public authority provided the complainant with a numerical breakdown of the distribution of the box markings; however it withheld the names and their corresponding box marking by virtue of the exemption contained at section 40(2) - third party information. The Commissioner finds that DEFRA correctly applied the exemption and requires no further action to be taken.
