- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information on the successful candidates for a position he applied for. The Environment Agency (EA) refused to provide the requested information citing the exemption under section 40(2) of the FOIA (third party personal data) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the EA has correctly applied section 40(2) of FOIA to the withheld information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
