West Berkshire Council
The complainant has requested information relating to a lease agreement between the Council and the West Berkshire Muslim Centre. The council provided some information however it refused to disclose other information on the basis that Regulation 12(5)(e) applied (commercial confidentiality). During the course of the Commissioner's investigation however the council reconsidered the information and applied section 43(2) (commercial interests) and section 40(2) (personal data) to the information. The complainant did not ask the Commissioner to consider the application of section 40(2) to the information and so she has not considered this further. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply section 43(2) to the information. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.FOI 43: Complaint not upheld
