Summary: The complainant requested correspondence dating from a specified period that related to the funding of the Warehouse Theatre. London Borough of Croydon (the Council) refused to disclose this information, citing the exemptions provided by sections 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) (inhibition to the free and frank provision of advice and to the free and frank exchange of views) of the FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Council cited these exemptions correctly and so it is not required to disclose this information.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
