Homes for Haringey
The complainant has requested information from Homes for Haringey (‘HfH’); an arm’s length organisation of the London Borough of Haringey and a public authority in its own right for the purposes of the FOIA. The information is associated with an audit report that a Homes for Haringey Resident Scrutiny Panel produced, which concerned the Haringey Leaseholders Association. HfH has withheld information under section 41(1) of the FOIA (information provided in confidence) and considers that it is also exempt section 40(2)(third person personal data). HfH says other information it holds is exempt information under section 21 (accessible to applicant by other means) and that it does not hold some of the information the complainant has requested. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The information requested in request [1] – the full audit report - is exempt information under section 41(1). On the balance of probabilities, HfH does not hold some of the information requested in request [2], namely full written notes associated with interviews, and has complied with section 1(1)(a) in this regard. Some of the information that HfH holds that falls within the scope of request 2 is exempt information under section 21(1) as it is accessible to the complainant by other means. The remainder of the information that HfH holds relating to request 2 and that falls within the scope of this investigation – emails, letters, financial information and summaries of notes of interviews with third persons – is exempt information under section 41(1). The Commissioner does not require HfH to take any remedial steps.FOI 21: Complaint not upheld FOI 41: Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
