Herefordshire Council
The complainant requested information from Herefordshire Council (“the Council”) relating to complaints about councillors. The Council provided some information relating to current councillors, but withheld some information relating to former councillors under the exemption at section 40(2) of the FOIA – third party personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information is the personal data of the former councillors; however, it is lawful, fair and transparent to disclose it in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR. She has therefore determined that section 40(2) is not engaged with regard to the information. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: disclose the requested information to the complainant.FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld
