Guildford Borough Council
3 June 2015, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested information about the departure of the Head of Planning. Guildford Borough Council (the council) refused the request relying on section 40(5) of the FOIA to neither confirm nor deny holding the requested information. It considered to either confirm or deny holding the information would in itself reveal personal data about the Head of Planning. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly relied on section 40(5) of the FOIA in this case. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
FOI 40: Not upheld
