The complainant has requested the names of council staff who have a company car and the make and model of their car from Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council (the council). The council refused to provide this information relying on section 40(2) as it considered that it was personal data and it would be unfair to disclose it. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to rely on section 40(2) to withhold the requested information. He therefore does not require the council to take any steps.
