The complainant has requested information regarding a data sharing Memorandum of Understanding between the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and local authorities.

The Commissioner’s decision is that DWP is entitled to rely on section 31(1)(a) to withhold the disputed information. The Commissioner does not require any steps.
