Sport England

The complainant has requested communications with Swim England’s decision to disaffiliate Ellesmere Titans Swimming Club. Sport England disclosed some information and withheld the remainder under sections 21, 36(2)(b)(ii) and 2(c), 40, 41 and 43 of FOIA. These exemptions concern information already accessible to the applicant, prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs, personal data, information provided in confidence and commercially sensitive information respectively. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information to which Sport England has applied sections 36(2)(b)(ii) and 36(2)(c) is exempt from disclosure under those exemptions. It’s not necessary for Sport England to take any corrective steps. Information Tribunal FTT EA/2024/0009 appeal withdrawn.
