The complainant has requested correspondence between the Charity Commission and a specific charity. The Charity Commission refused to provide the requested information, citing section 31(1)(g) (law enforcement), section 40(1) and section 40(2) (personal information) and section 41(1) (information provided in confidence) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information engages section 31(1)(g) and the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
