The complainant has requested information regarding the local government pensions received by councillors. Central Bedfordshire Council (the council) refused to provide this information as it considered that it was personal data and therefore exempt under section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to rely on section 40(2) to withhold the requested information. He does not require the council to take any steps.
