The complainant has requested recorded information about public health funerals undertaken by Birmingham City Council, and in particular, he seeks the names and addresses of the deceased persons and the dates of their funerals. The Commissioner’s decision is that Birmingham City Council has properly applied section 31(1)(a) to the requested information in this case. The Council is therefore entitled to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take no further action in this matter.
