- Decision(s) FOI 41: Not upheld
The complainant requested various information in respect of Cheshire East Council’s agreement with Stonewall in relation to its Diversity Champions. Cheshire East Council provided some information, but refused to provide its Workplace Equality Index (WEI) Feedback form from Stonewall citing sections 41 (information provided in confidence) and 43(2) (commercial interests). The Commissioner’s decision is that Cheshire East Council was entitled to rely on section 41 FOIA to withhold the WEI Feedback form. The Commissioner does not require Cheshire East Council to take any steps.
