Summary: The complainant requested the geographical equivalent number(s) behind a 0845 number under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-˜the Act-™). The public authority confirmed that it held the information, but that it would not provide it because it felt that section 36(2)(c) [disclosure would prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs] applied to the information. It maintained its position after conducting an internal review. The Commissioner has concluded that the DWP correctly applied the exemption. While the Commissioner does not require the DWP to take any steps, he has determined that it breached section 17(1) in its handling of the request.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
