Financial Services Authority (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50276863 (08 November 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested that the Financial Services Authority (the -˜FSA-™) should provide him with the names and numbers of the individuals who work in the Enforcement and Investigation teams within the organisation. The FSA refused the request under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. It explained that it routinely only released the names of its Heads of Department and above. During the course of the investigation, the FSA disclosed the names of the managers and the number of investigators. This Decision Notice therefore focuses on the issue of the names of the investigators. The Commissioner finds that the FSA was correct to apply section 40(2) to that part of the request concerning the names of the investigators. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
