Manchester City Council

The complainant has requested information about the ‘Empowering mothers against radicalisation’ project funded by Manchester City Council.  The Council provided some information but refused the remainder citing sections 24(1) – national security and 43(2) – commercial interests of the FOIA.  On review the Council maintained its reliance on section 24(1) and added section 38(1) – health and safety, but dropped the application of section 43(2), saying it did not hold the information to which it applied.  The Commissioner’s decision is that Manchester City Council is entitled to rely on section 24(1) to withhold the information, and as a result it has not been necessary to consider the application of section 38(1).  She concludes that on the balance of probability, the Council does not hold the remainder of the information.
