Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50488590 (25 September 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested a copy of the Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA) accidents and defects database. VOSA has relied on several exemptions to withhold the information: the information is personal data (section 40), the information was provided in confidence (section 41), the information is subject to a statutory bar (section 44) and the information is intended for future publication (section 22). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the information held on the database is prohibited from disclosure by virtue of the Enterprise Act 2002. As such the section 44(1)(a) exemption of the FOIA is engaged and VOSA has correctly withheld the requested information.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 44 - Complaint Not upheld
