Charity Commission

The complainant has requested information relating to the Atlantic Bridge organisation. The Charity Commission said that some of the requested information was not held. It provided the complainant with some of the information requested which was held. It withheld the remaining information under section 31(1)(g) with subsection (2)(c), (f), (g) and (h), section 21, section 40(2) and section 42 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation it did provide the complainant with some of the withheld information but redacted it under section 40(2) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Charity Commission correctly applied section 31(1)(g) with subsection 2(f) to the withheld information and section 21 FOIA to the part of the withheld information. He also considers that the Charity Commission correctly made the redactions to the information it disclosed during the course of the investigation under section 40(2) FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
