Summary: The complainant requested the exact post or job titles of the 17 individuals that the College made redundant. The College provided a summary of the posts, but explained that it considered that the exact information was exempt and maintained its position in its internal review. The complainant referred the case to the Commissioner. During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation, the College agreed to disclose the full job titles for six of the individuals. For the remainder, it confirmed that it believed that sections 40(2) and 41(1) applied to the post titles. The Commissioner considers that section 40(2) has been applied appropriately to the outstanding withheld information. He has, however, noted a number of procedural breaches. He requires no remedial steps to be taken in this case.
