Hampshire Probation Board (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50275054 (26 April 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested from Hampshire Probation Board (HPB) the age, grade and pay scale of an individual who was granted early retirement. Hampshire Probation Area (HPA) responded on behalf of HPB and stated that the information requested was the personal data of the individual concerned and was exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act). The Commissioner finds that the information requested is the personal data of the individual concerned as it is sufficient to identify them when considered with other information in the public domain. Furthermore, the Commissioner finds that disclosure of this information would be unfair under the Data Protection Act 1998 (the DPA) and it is therefore exempt under section 40(2) of the Act.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
