Summary: The complainant asked the Charity Commission for all its documents relating to the Global Warming Policy Foundation (the -GWPF-). The Charity Commission provided some documents but withheld a bank statement which showed the name of an individual who had donated money to the GWPF. It argued that this information was exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) and section 41(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Commissioner finds that the Charity Commission was correct to apply section 40(2) to this bank statement and has not considered its application of section 41(1). Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0177 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
