The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: HOS is entitled to rely on section 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold the requested information. It is the personal data of third persons and disclosure would contravene a data protection principle. The Commissioner does not require HOS to take any remedial steps.FOI 40: Complaint not upheld
