The complainant has requested information about its dealing with ‘The Produce Hall’ from Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council (‘the Council’). The Council provided some information but withheld the remainder citing sections 41(1) (information provided in confidence) and 43(2) (commercial interests) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on section 43(2) to withhold the information at parts (3) (latter part only), (4) and (5) of the request. In respect of parts (1), (2) and (3)(former part only) of the request she finds that neither section 43(2) nor 41(1) are engaged. In respect of these parts the Commissioner requires the Council to disclose any recorded information held.
