Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority
29 June 2016, Central government
The complainant has requested information relating to the names of the MPs who have had complaints about their expenses assessed but were not investigated. The Compliance Officer for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (The Compliance Officer) refused to provide the requested information citing the exemption under section 40(2) of the FOIA (third party personal data) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) is engaged for all complaints that are assessed as containing allegations of a criminal nature and for all complaints that are assessed and closed prior to investigation.
FOI 40: Not upheld
