The complainant has asked Warwickshire County Council all emails, reports, photos and letters which relate to a visit by Warwickshire Trading Standards and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (‘APHA’) to a named game bird farm on 27 July 2017. The Council has refused the complainant’s request in reliance on section 30(1)(b) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Warwickshire County Council has correctly applied section 30(1)(a) of the FOIA to the information requested by the complainant. The Commissioner is satisfied that the information relates to investigations the public authority has the power to conduct and the public interest favours withholding that information.
