Summary: The complainant requested the names of the Enforcement Officers who issued three specific parking penalty notices. London Borough of Camden (-˜the Council-™) initially stated that it did not hold the information requested and referred the complainant to a third party it contacted to carry out parking enforcement activities on its behalf. During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation, the Council confirmed that it held the information requested for the purposes of the FOIA. It disclosed the identification numbers of the individuals, but withheld their names under section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Council correctly applied section 40(2) to the remaining information held relevant to the request. He does not require any steps to be taken.
