Pembrokeshire County Council

The complainant has requested various information in respect of dog breeders licenses from Pembrokeshire County Council. The Council cited section 21 for part of the request and refused the remainder on the basis of section 31(1)(a) of the FOIA.  Following the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council provided redacted copies of the requested documents but continued to rely on section 31(1)(a) in respect of a small amount of information. It also informed the Commissioner that it was now relying on section 40(2) to redact the personal information within the documents. The Commissioner’s decision is that Pembrokeshire County Council has correctly relied on section 31(1)(a) and section 40(2) to refuse the remainder of the information. However, the Council has also breached section 10(1) of the FOIA in failing to provide the information to the complainant within the time specified by the FOIA.

FOI 31: Complaint not upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: IC-49650
