Somerset Council

The complainant has requested code of conduct complaint information about Yeovil Town Council from Somerset Council (the Council). The Council refused to disclose the information it held, citing section 40(1) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on section 40(1) when refusing to provide the requested information. The Commissioner also finds that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold any further information within the scope of the request. The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken.
