23 March 2017, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested average care package cost information regarding Leonard Cheshire Disability (“LCD”). Surrey County Council (the “Council”) provided some detail but refused to provide much of the information citing section 43(2) (prejudice to commercial interests) as its basis for doing so. Following correspondence with the Commissioner, the Council disclosed the requested information to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was not entitled to rely on section 43(2) as its basis for withholding the requested information. In failing to provide the information within 20 working days following the request, the Council contravened the requirements of section 1 and section 10 of the Act. Given that the Council has already disclosed the information, no steps are required.
