25 July 2017, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested the London Borough of Newham (the council) to disclose all minutes from the Safety Advisory Group meetings relating to the London Stadium in 2016. The council disclosed some information but withheld other information citing sections 31(1)(a) and 43 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that sections 31(1)(a) and 43 of the FOIA do not apply and therefore the withheld information should be disclosed to the complainant.
FOI 31(1)(a): Upheld FOI 43: Upheld FOI 10: Upheld
