Lambeth London Borough Council

The complainant has made a request for information relating to applicant households accommodated by the London Borough of Lambeth (the Council). The Council provided some information but relied on the exemption at section 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold other information. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) is not engaged in respect of the withheld information, since it is not personal data as defined by the Data Protection Act 2018. The Commissioner requires the Council to disclose the withheld information.
