Summary: The complainant requested information from Lancaster City Council (-˜the Council-™) regarding its decision to award an enhanced pension to a former town clerk. Although the Council provided some information, it refused to disclose the remaining information under sections 40(2) and 41(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-˜the Act-™). The Commissioner has investigated and considers that the requested information is exempt by virtue of section 40(2) of the Act. He has therefore not gone on to consider the Council-™s application of section 41(1).
