Competition and Markets Authority
The complainant has requested information in meeting invites between Lord Tyrie of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and representatives of several firms plus any summaries or meeting notes. The CMA refused to provide the summaries on the basis of section 44(1)(a) and disclosed the meeting invites but redacted personal data under section 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that the CMA correctly engaged section 44 to withhold the summary it holds for part 2c) of the request. With regard to the personal data redacted from the invites the Commissioner finds that the name of the individuals who met with Lord Tyrie are personal data but there is a lawful basis for processing this data and therefore the CMA is not entitled to rely on section 40(2) to withhold this information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the names of the individuals who met with Lord Tyrie that have been redacted from the information provided in response to part 2a) of the request.FOI 44: Complaint not upheld FOI 40: Complaint upheld
