24 June 2014, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested correspondence from Stephen Hammond MP to the London Borough of Merton (the “Council”) about parking in Wimbledon. The Council initially refused citing the exemptions at section 34 (Parliamentary Privilege) and section 41 (Information provided in confidence). Following an internal review it withdrew reliance on these exemptions and cited section 40 (Unfair Disclosure of Personal Data) as its basis for refusal. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on section 40 as a basis for withholding the requested information. No steps are required. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2014/0181 allowed.
FOI 40: Not upheld
