The authority denied the request in reliance on the exemptions at sections 37(1)(a), 40(2) and 41(1) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority was entitled to withhold the information redacted from file PREM 11/4443 (the withheld information) in reliance on the exemption at section 37(1)(a) FOIA. No steps required.
