Lambeth London Borough Council
26 November 2015, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested information relating to the application submitted by the London Borough of Lambeth (the Council) in 2014 for additional Decent Homes Backlog Funding. The Council provided a copy of the backlog bid document but redacted parts of the information under section 43(2) of FOIA or regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The complainant has asked the Commissioner to consider whether the redactions were correctly applied. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council clarified that it was relying on regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR to withhold the information in question. The Commissioner has found that regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR is engaged and has decided that in all the circumstances the public interest in favour of withholding the information outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
EIR 12(5)(e): Not upheld
