Peterborough City Council
The complainant has requested information about Peterborough City Council’s Home to School Transport Service for 2017. The Council refused to supply the information, citing section 40 of the FOIA –personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that Peterborough City Council has not sufficiently demonstrated how the withheld information constitutes personal data and therefore section 40 is not engaged. The Commissioner requires the public authority disclose the withheld information falling within the scope of the request, save for the personal data of staff and transport firm employees. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.FOI 40: Complaint upheld
