The complainant has requested details about a Finance Manager post at a particular school. Portsmouth City Council (‘the Council’) refused to provide the requested information saying it was the personal data of the current post holder and therefore exempt from disclosure by virtue of section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information is not personal data as it relates to the post itself so the exemption is not engaged. He requires the Council to provide the information requested.
