Biggleswade Town Council
The complainant has requested information about staffing costs. Biggleswade Town Council (‘the Council’) disclosed the majority of the requested information. It withheld information about settlement agreements under section 40(2) of FOIA as it considered this to be other people’s personal data which it would be unlawful to disclose. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The Council is entitled to withhold some of the information the complainant has requested under section 40(2) of FOIA as disclosing it would contravene the data protection legislation. The Commissioner therefore does not require the Council to take any corrective steps.FOI 40: Complaint not upheld
