East Hampshire District Council
- Date 19 December 2024
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to their business. East Hampshire District Council disclosed some information (being the number of formal complaints made to it) but withheld the remainder on the basis that it represented the personal data of third parties and was therefore exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has disclosed the number of formal complaints, and has correctly withheld the remaining information under section 40(2). The Commissioner does not require further steps.
