Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government

The complainant has requested a telephone number for the Head of the FOI Team at the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government (the MHCLG). The MHCLG refused the request on the basis that section 40(2) of the Act applies (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MHCLG was correct to apply section 40(2) to withhold the information from disclosure. The Commissioner does not require the MHCLG to take any steps.
