Bury Metropolitan Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50351602 (27 June 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information about various matters relating to a meeting of the public authority-™s members Standards Assessment Sub-committee. Some information was disclosed, but some was refused under the provisions of section 44(1)(a) of the Act, namely that disclosure was prohibited under another enactment. The Commissioner finds that the statutory bar provided at section 63 of the Local Government Act 2000 applies to most of the withheld information and therefore section 44 was correctly applied. Some information was incorrectly withheld, and the Commissioner finds breaches of section 44, section 1, section 10 and section 17 of the Act. He does not require any steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 44 - Complaint Partly Upheld
