Summary: The complainant requested information from Cleveland Police Authority about one of its former Chief Executives. This information included records of his corporate credit card spending and the basis upon which he received additional payments in addition to his basic salary. The Authority withheld both types of information on the basis of various exemptions contained within section 31 of the Freedom of Information Act (the law enforcement exemption). The Commissioner-™s decision is that none of the exemptions cited by the Authority provide a basis to withhold the details of the corporate credit card spending. However, the Commissioner is satisfied that the exemptions contained at sections 31(1)(a) and 31(1)(b) provide a basis to withhold the information regarding the basis for the additional payments and in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining these exemptions. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide the complainant with the details of the payments by the former Chief Executive on his corporate credit card (with the exception of the credit card number itself).
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 31 - Complaint Partly Upheld
