The complainant has requested parcel grid reference numbers relating to countryside stewardship. The Rural Payments Agency ("the public authority") disclosed some information but refused to provide the rest, citing regulation 13 (personal data). The Commissioner's decision is that the public authority correctly withheld the information it did under regulation 13 as to disclose it would breach the data protection principles. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
