The complainant requested information from Broxbourne Borough Council (the council) concerning the council’s remuneration panel. The council provided some information but withheld other information using the exemptions under section 40(2), 36 and 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council correctly withheld all the information using section 40(2). However, he found that the council breached section 1(1)(a), 1(1)(b), 10(1), 17(1) and 17(1)(a) (b) (c) and 17(7)(b).
