4 September 2014, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information from Cornwall Council about possible payments made to ex-members of staff at the John Daniel Centre in Penzance, and for a copy of a letter of resignation from the person appointed by the Council to lead its internal inquiry into matters at that Centre. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on section 40(5) to neither confirm nor deny holding information relating to the any payment made to ex-members of staff at the Centre and is entitled to rely on section 40(2) in respect of the letter of resignation which is sought by the complainant. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further action in this matter.
