The complainant requested the full name of a Bolton Council (the Council) employee that he had spoken to. The Council refused to disclose this information and cited the exemption provided by section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council cited section 40(2) correctly and so it was not required to disclose this information.
