Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities

The complainant requested information about a Homes England pay review. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (the DLUHC) withheld the information requested under section 35(1)(a) (formulation or development of government policy) of the FOIA. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the DLUHC disclosed some of the withheld information, but maintained that the remaining information was exempt under sections 35, 40(2) (personal information) and 41 (information provided in confidence). The Commissioner’s decision is that the DLUHC correctly applied sections 35 and 41 to the withheld information. The Commissioner has also determined that with the exception of one redaction, the DLUHC has correctly applied section 40(2) to the request. The Commissioner requires DLUHC to disclose the information withheld under section 40(2) on page 6 of the Homes England new Pay Business Case.

FOI 40: Complaint partly upheld FOI 41: Complaint not upheld FOI 35: Complaint not upheld
