Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

The complainant requested from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (“the Council”) information about credit balances on business rates accounts. The Council withheld the requested information under section 31(1)(a). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 31(1)(a) to the withheld information and so she does not  require it to take any further steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
