The complainant has requested information for valuations received by West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service for certain sites, including a proposed new fire station. West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service applied section 43(2) of the FOIA, on the grounds that disclosure would prejudice commercial interests. The Commissioner’s decision is that West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has applied section 43(2) (commercial interest) of the FOIA appropriately. The Commissioner does not require West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service to take any steps as a result of this decision.
