East Suffolk Council
The complainant requested information about business rates. East Suffolk Council (the “council”) refused the request citing the exemptions for personal data (section 40) and information provided in confidence (section 41). During the Commissioner’s investigation the council confirmed that it was also relying on the exemption for law enforcement to withhold the information (section 31(1)(a)). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council correctly withheld the information under section 31(1)(a) of the FOIA and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.FOI 31(1)(a): Complaint not upheld
Decision notice: 171054
