The complainant requested information from Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (“the Council”) about the action the Council had taken to establish whether an unauthorised business was being run at a particular address. The Council has refused to confirm or deny whether it holds information which falls within the scope of the request, citing section 40(5) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on section 40(5) to refuse to confirm or deny whether it holds information which falls within the scope of the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
