Summary: The complainant asked Education Leeds for information relating to training courses which it was sending its managers on. The training courses were run by a charitable organisation, Common Purpose. Some information was provided in response to his request however other information was withheld on the basis that section 43(2) (commercial prejudice) and section 40(2) (personal data) applied. The Commissioner has considered the application of these exemptions. His decision is that Education Leeds was not correct to apply section 43(2) to the information. He also decided that section 40(2) applies to some of the withheld information, but not to all of it.
