Summary: The complainant requested the names, job titles, departments and telephone numbers of all the council-™s employees excluding school and manual staff. The council supplied some of the information but refused disclosure of the remainder under s36(2)(c), s31(1)(g) and s40(2) of the Act. The Commissioner decided that the public interest in maintaining the exemption at s36(2)(c) outweighed the public interest in disclosure. As the Commissioner-™s decision is that the information is exempt from disclosure he has not gone on to consider the application of the exemptions at s31 and s40. The Commissioner found the council to have breached s17(1), s17(1)(b) and s17(3)(b) of the Act.
