Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council
30 June 2016, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant made a freedom of information request to Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council for details of managers responsible for the Children’s Leaving Care Service. The Council originally refused to disclose the information under the exemptions in section 31(1)(c) (law enforcement), section 36(2)(c) (prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs) and section 40(2) (personal information). However, during the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Council agreed to disclose the previously withheld information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has breached section 10(1) of FOIA by failing to disclose all of the withheld information within 20 working days. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
