Summary: The complainant has requested a copy of a report regarding horse meat in Asda Smart Price Corned Beef. Leicestershire County Council (-˜the council-™) applied the exemption for investigations and proceedings conducted by public authorities at section 30(1)(b) of the FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the exemption was correctly engaged but in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption does not outweigh the public interest in disclosure of the information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the Public Analyst-™s Report on Asda Corned Beef redacting the name and signature of the Public Analyst and the name of the contact at Trading Standards.
