New Forest District Council

The complainant requested information relating to the investigation of an alleged benefit fraud. New Forest District Council released some of the requested information but withheld the remainder citing the exemption under section 41(1) of the Act on the grounds that it was information provided in confidence. The Commissioner finds that the exemption at section 41(1) was correctly applied in this case, and requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0034 dismissed.
