6 December 2016, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant requested from the London Borough of Lewisham (“the Council”) a copy of the Brockley Private Finance Initiative (“PFI”) contract. The Council disclosed some parts of the contract but withheld other parts under sections 40(2) and 43(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has incorrectly applied section 43(2) to the information that it has withheld under that exemption. She requires the Council to disclose to the complainant all of the information that it has withheld under section 43(2).
