The complainant has requested information in relation to specific private equity funds invested in by the West Yorkshire Pension Fund. The Commissioner’s decision is that the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has incorrectly applied both the exemption where disclosure would prejudice commercial interests at section 43(2) of the FOIA and the exemption for information provided in confidence at section 41 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the requested information to ensure compliance with the legislation.
