The complainant has requested information from Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service relating to two companies. The fire service refused to supply requested in formation, initially in reliance of the exemptions provided by sections 41 (information provided in confidence), 24(1) (national security) and 38 (health and safety) of the FOIA and by regulation 12(5)(g) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the fire service is entitled to rely on section 24(1) of the FOIA as the basis for withholding the information sought by the complainant.
