ICO The complainant requested a copy of any blacklists which London Borough of Hillingdon (the Council) may operate with regards to restricted contact with complainants. The Council refused to disclose the information by virtue of section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information 2000 Act (‘the Act’). During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Council provided the complainant with a redacted copy of its restricted persons register. The complainant accepts that the Council correctly applied section 40(2) to the information which has been redacted. Therefore this notice only addresses the failure of the Council to respond within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
