The complainant has requested information on the assurances about customer safety provided to TfL by the operator of UberPOOL. TfL applied the exemptions provided by regulation 31, that disclosing the information would prejudice its regulatory functions, and section 41, information provided in confidence. It later withdrew the application of these exemptions from one piece of information, the fourteenth document it identified as falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that TfL is required to disclose the fourteenth document it identified as falling within the scope of the request. However TfL is entitled to rely on section 31 to withhold the remaining information.

FOI 31: Not upheld
