Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council
The complainant has requested information associated with its contract with Amey plc. Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council (‘the Council’) relied on section 22(1) of the FOIA to withhold the requested information (information intended for future publication). The Commissioner’s decision is that: The Council can rely on section 22(1) of the FOIA to withhold the requested information, and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Council breached section 17(3) as it did not provide the complainant with public interest arguments associated with its application of section 22(1), in either its response or internal review. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 22: Complaint not upheld
