The complainant has requested a Memorandum of Understanding, dated 7 October 2015, from St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, Eltham (‘the School’). The School provided part of the document, but redacted in full the section entitled Financial Responsibility under section 40(2) of the FOIA – Third party personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that only some of the information has been correctly withheld under the exemption. The School has correctly withheld some specific salary information, but the remainder of the section either does not comprise third party personal data, or may fairly be disclosed without breaching any principle of the Data Protection Act 1998. The Commissioner requires the School to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Disclose the section entitled Financial Responsibility to the complainant, apart from the four amounts of money which are specified since these relate to specific salary information, as detailed in this notice.
