The complainant has requested information about a department of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). DVLA released some information and has withheld the remainder which it says is exempt from release under section 40(2) of the FOIA because it is the personal data of third persons. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information is the personal data of third persons and exempt from release under section 40(2). The Commissioner does not require DVLA to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 40: Not upheld
