Royston Town Council

The complainant has requested that Royston Town Council (the council) provide information on the outcome of an investigation into the conduct of a particular employee. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council correctly relied on section 40(5B)(a)(i) of the FOIA to refuse to confirm or deny whether it held information falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
