Kirby Muxloe Parish Council

The complainant has made two requests seeking specific minutes and related documents. Kirby Muxloe Parish Council disclosed some information, and withheld some under section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to withhold some of the information under section 40(2), but that other parts do not represent personal data and therefore do not fall under the exemption. The Commission is satisfied that all other relevant held information has been disclosed, but finds that the Council breached section 10(1) by not responding to the second request. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Disclose paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 (on the second page) of the closed session minutes of the meeting held on 5 August 2016.
