Summary: The complainant has requested information held by the Charity Commission on the operation of bank accounts by Outwood Grange School Fund. The Charity Commission provided some information in response to the request but refused to disclose the remainder on the basis of sections 21 (information accessible by other means), 31(2)(b), (c), (f) -“ (h) (law enforcement), 40(2) (personal data), 41 (information provided in confidence) and section 42 (legal professional privilege) of FOIA. The complainant has subsequently asked the Commissioner to consider the application of the exemptions with the exception of sections 21 and 40(2). During the course of the investigation the Charity Commission chose to release two documents covered by section 31 but continued to withhold the balance of the requested material. The Commissioner-™s decision is that this remaining information is exempt information under sections 31 and 42 of FOIA. He does not therefore require the Charity Commission to take any steps as a result of this notice.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 31 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 42 - Complaint Not upheld
