The complainant requested information held by the ICO in relation to various trade union groups. The ICO confirmed that it held the relevant information but refused to provide it on the grounds that it was exempt from disclosure under section 44(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 by virtue of section 59(1) of the Data Protection Act 1998. This Decision Notice upholds the ICO’s use of section 44(1)(a). The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0041 dismissed.
