The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The withheld information does not engage the exemptions under section 41(1) or 43(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires MHRA to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Disclose to the complainant the information it is withholding under the above two exemptions.FOI 43: Complaint upheld FOI 41: Complaint upheld
