The complainant has requested information about salary and bonus payments to staff at Senior Level 1 and above. Highways England refused to disclose some of the requested information citing section 22 which was intended for future publication and the remaining information was withheld under section 43(2) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Highways England was correct to refuse to disclose Senior 3 pay/reward information for 2018/2019 under section 22 FOIA. It incorrectly applied section 43(2) FOIA to the remaining withheld information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information withheld under section 43(2) FOIA.
