4 August 2014, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested information relating to council tax payments by councillors. The Commissioner’s decision is that Bracknell Forest Council has correctly applied the exemption for personal data at section 40(2) of the FOIA to the names of councillors who were issued with a council tax reminder letter. He does not require the public authority to take the any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2014/0201 dismissed.
FOI 40: Not upheld
