- Decision(s) FOI 43(2): Not upheld
The complainant requested information relating to school provisions for teaching Relationships and sex education (RSE) and Personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE). North Yorkshire County Council (the “council”) refused the request under the exemption for commercial interests (section 43(2)). The Commissioner’s decision is that the information is commercially sensitive and the council is entitled to withhold it under section 43(2) of FOIA. The public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
