Northern Ireland Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50233729 (07 February 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information regarding the Belfast District Policing Partnership. The Northern Ireland Office released some information but withheld the remainder on the grounds that it was exempt under section 35(1)(a) and (b), section 36(2)(b)(i), (b)(ii) and (c) and section 42 of the Act. During the Commissioner-™s investigation the NIO also applied the exemption at section 40(2) to some information. The Commissioner finds that some of the requested information was properly withheld under sections 35(1)(a) and (b), section 36(2)(i) and (ii), section 40(2) and section 42(1) of the Act. However the Commissioner finds that the public interest in maintaining the relevant exemption does not outweigh the public interest in disclosing some of the information. Therefore the Commissioner requires the NIO to release this information to the complainant.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 35 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 42 - Complaint Not upheld
