Department for Transport (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50294798 (19 July 2010)
Summary: The complainant made a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -Act-) to the Department for Transport (DfT) for information relating to the latest bonus of the Chief Executive of an agency of the DfT. The DfT explained that some of the information requested was publicly available. It explained that the annual reports of the DfT and the relevant agencies contain salary and bonus information relating to the individual concerned within a £5,000 band. The complainant was directed to this information. The specific information about the bonus was refused under the exemption contained at section 40(2) of the Act. The Commissioner considers that the DfT correctly applied the section 40(2) exemption to withhold the information relating to the bonus of the individual concerned and requires no further action to be taken.
