The complainant requested information relating to money borrowed by Thurrock Council (the Council) from other local authorities and information relating to the amount lent by the Council to other local authorities. The Council refused to provide the requested information citing sections 43 (commercial interests) and 36 (prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to apply the section 43 exemption. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
