The complainant has requested correspondence between the now former leader of the London Borough of Waltham Forest (‘LB Waltham Forest’) and Stella Creasy MP about a Community Protection Notice. LB Waltham Forest cited section 40 (personal data) as its basis for refusal. It upheld this at internal review. It introduced additional reliance on section 36 (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) and section 38 (prejudice to health and safety) during the Commissioner’s investigation. The Commissioner’s decision is that LB Waltham Forest is entitled to rely on section 36(2)(b)(i) as its basis for withholding all the requested information. No steps are required.
