- Decision(s) FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from the Department for Transport (the DfT) regarding a contract between Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and Euro Car Parks (ECP) which allowed requests for vehicle keeper details. The DfT disclosed information in scope of the request but explained that some of the information requested was redacted as it related to third party individuals under section 40(2) – personal information.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfT was entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold information in this case.
The Commissioner does not require any steps as a result of this decision.
