Milton Keynes Council

The complainant requested from Milton Keynes Council (“the Council”) information relating to the Free School competitions run by the Council for Kents Hill Park Schools and Western Expansion Area secondary school. The Council withheld the requested information under sections 43(2) (commercial interests) and 36 (effective conduct of public affairs) of the FOIA. The Council subsequently withdrew its reliance of section 36 and applied section 43(1) (trade secrets) of the FOIA to the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council correctly applied section 43(2) of the FOIA to the information requested. Therefore, she has not gone on to consider the application of section 43(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.

FOI 43: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: IC-44844
