Kirklees Metropolitan Council
The complainant has requested information about the ‘Empowering mothers against grooming and radicalisation project’ funded by Kirklees Council. The Council provided some information falling within the scope of the request but refused the remainder, citing section 24(1)of the FOIA - safeguarding of national security. The Commissioner’s decision is that Kirklees Council is entitled to rely on section 24(1) to withhold the information. However she also finds that the Council breached section 1(1)a of the FOIA by failing to notify the complainant that it did not hold some of the requested information. As the Council has now rectified this, no steps are required to comply with the legislation.FOI 24: Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
