Wakefield Metropolitan District Council

The complainant has requested information with regards to a public service contract. Wakefield Council (the council) refused the request relying on section 43(2) of the FOIA – commercial interests - and section 36 of the FOIA - Prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs. During the Commissioner’s investigations the council provided a redacted version of the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 43(2) of the FOIA is engaged to the redacted information. As section 43(2) of the FOIA is engaged, the Commissioner has not gone on to consider section 36 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.

FOI 43: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fs50824660
