Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested information regarding private landlords found guilty of offences under the Housing Act 2004.

The Commissioner’s decision is that Stoke on Trent City Council correctly relied on section 40(2) to withhold the said information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take no steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
