Big Lottery Fund

The complainant has asked the Big Lottery Fund (the BLF) to provide a number of items of information relating to a list of various organisations. The BLF provided some parts of the requested information. It refused to provide other parts however, citing sections 12(1) (costs of compliance) and 40(2) (third party personal data) of FOIA. The BLF also refused to confirm or deny whether it held some aspects of the requested information under sections 31(3) (law enforcement), 40(5) and 41(2) (information provided in confidence). The Commissioner has decided that the BLF correctly relied on the exemptions cited with the exception of section 40(5), which she has decided is not engaged. The Commissioner therefore requires the public authority to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue a fresh response which does not cite the application of section 40(5) of FOIA.

FOI 31: Complaint not upheld FOI 40: Complaint upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld FOI 41: Complaint not upheld FOI 12: Complaint not upheld
