House of Commons
16 January 2008, Central government
The complainant asked for full details, including receipts and invoices, of spending by Tony Blair, John Prescott, Gordon Brown, Michael Howard, Charles Kennedy and Jonathan Sayeed during the year 2003 – 2004. The House of Commons refused the request on the grounds that it is the personal data of the MPs concerned and that disclosure would be unfair and present a security risk. The Commissioner decided that although the information is the personal data of the named MP’s and a number of other third parties disclosure of some of the information would not be unfair and therefore would not breach section 40(2) of the Act.
