Financial Conduct Authority
The complainant has requested information relating to loans for residential house purchases. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) disclosed the majority of the information but refused to provide the remaining requested information (the small numbers <5 ) citing the exemption under section 40(2) of the FOIA (third party personal data) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the FCA has incorrectly applied section 40(2) of FOIA to the withheld information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: to disclose the withheld small numbers <5. 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
