Royal Mail (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50378443 (21 September 2011)
Summary: The complainant has requested the total remuneration figure received by each of the top 15 executives at Royal Mail for 2007/08 and 2008/09, with a separate breakdown of amounts received by each individual in respect of their pay rates, expenses, pension contributions and sharesave holdings. The complainant did not expect to be provided with the names and job titles of the individuals linked to the remuneration payments. The Commissioner-™s decision is that Royal Mail has incorrectly applied section 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA to information covered by the scope of the request. He does, however, find that some of the information constituted third party personal data and was exempt information under section 40(2) of FOIA.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 43 - Complaint Upheld
