Nottingham City Council

The complainant requested a copy of a financial controls report. Nottingham City Council (the “council”) withheld the information under the exemption for prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs (section 36(2)(c)). The Commissioner’s decision is that, whilst the exemption is engaged, the public interest favours disclosing the requested information. The Commissioner requires the council to provide the complainant with all the information withheld under section 36(2)(c).
