Kent County Council
The complainant has requested information from Kent County Council (“the Council”) about payments made by the Council regarding its wholly owned trading vehicles. The Council provided some information to the complainant and also referred the request to one of its holding companies, which provided the complainant with some further information, however the Council itself refused to disclose the requested information, citing section 12(1) of FOIA as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 12(1) of FOIA to the complainant’s request. The Commissioner has also decided that the Council has complied with its duty of advice and assistance as set out in section 16 of FOIA. The Commissioner therefore requires the Council to take no further steps.FOI 12: Complaint not upheld
