The complainant has made a request to Great Yarmouth Borough Council (‘the council’) for information relating to financial assistance for property development. The council disclosed some information and withheld the remainder under the exemption provided by section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (‘the FOIA’). The complainant disputed the application of section 40(2), and whether all relevant information had been identified. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly withheld the information under section 40(2), and that all information has otherwise been disclosed. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
