Greater Manchester Police (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50398876 (20 September 2011)
Summary: The complainant asked Greater Manchester Police (the -public authority-) to provide emails relating to police pension regulations. The public authority initially withheld the information using the exemption in section 22(1)(c)of the Freedom of Information Act (the -Act-). This was later varied to add sections 21(1), 36(2)(b)(ii), 40(2) and 42(1). The Commissioner-s decision is that the exemptions in section 21 and 22 are not engaged. However, he does find that section 36(2) is engaged and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs that in disclosure. He has not therefore considered the applicability of the other exemptions. The complaint is partly upheld.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 21 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 22 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
