Westminster City Council

The complainant has requested from Westminster City Council (‘the Council’) the year-on-year income it received from leasing a particular site for advertising. The Council disclosed some information, but it refused to disclose the income it received for the most recent two financial years, citing section 43(2) (Commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to apply section 43(2) to withhold that information.
