Pensions Regulator
29 November 2017, Central government
The complainant has requested information relating to the contents of any proceedings or action taken by the Pensions Regulator (the Regulator) related to a named hotel (the hotel). The Pensions Regulator refused to confirm or deny if it held the information, citing section 44(2) (prohibitions on disclosure) of the FOIA, on the grounds that section 82 of the Pensions Act 2004 provides a statutory prohibition on the disclosure of ‘restricted information’. The Commissioner has investigated the Regulators application of section 44(2). Her decision is that the Regulator has correctly applied the exemption on the basis that confirmation or denial was prohibited by section 82 of the Pensions Act 2004 (PA). The Commissioner does not require the Regulator to take any steps.
FOI 44: Not upheld
