Audit Commission

The complainant requested the public authority to provide her with a copy of the “guidance in respect of council tax section 11 discounts and the electoral register match”. The public authority relied on the exemption at section 31(1)(a) to refuse her request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the exemption is engaged and that the public interest favoured maintaining the exemption. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0008 has been disposed of by way of a consent order.
