- Decision(s) FOI 36(2)(b)(ii): Not upheld
The complainant has requested for a copy of the recent correspondence which The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (“the Council”) sent to the Department of Education (“DfE”) relating to Holland Park School (“the school”). The Council refused to disclose the information and relied on section 36 of FOIA (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council have correctly applied section 36(2)(b)(ii) of FOIA to withhold the information. He does not require the public authority to take any further steps.
