Summary: The complainant requested the amount of compensation higher than £750.00 paid, if relevant, to owners of camelids for the slaughter of their animals due to bovine tuberculosis. DEFRA refused to disclose the information under sections 40(2) and 40(3)(a)(i) of the Act as it comprised personal data, and disclosure would be unfair. The Commissioner considers that section 40(2) by virtue of 40(3)(a)(i) was correctly engaged in this case. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
