Heritage Lottery Fund

The complainant requested information from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) about a grant it had awarded Southampton University to assist it in acquiring the Broadlands Archive. The HLF provided the complainant with some information falling within the scope of his request but sought to withhold further information on the basis of the following sections of FOIA: section 40(2) (personal data), section 41(1) (information provided in confidence), section 43(2) (commercial interests) and 44(1)(a) (statutory prohibition). The complainant sought to challenge the HLF’s reliance on these exemptions and also argued that it was likely to hold further information falling within the scope of some of these requests. The Commissioner has concluded that only some of the information which the HLF has withheld is exempt from disclosure on the sections 40(2), 41(1) and 44(1)(a) of FOIA; the remainder of the information which it sought to withhold is not exempt from disclosure and this information must be disclosed. However, the Commissioner has concluded that on the balance of probabilities the HLF does not hold any further information falling within the scope of the disputed requests.
