Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council
The complainant asked Bournemouth Borough Council for information about the trade use of crematoria operated by the Council. The information which the complainant seeks is the number of cremations which have taken place at the Council’s crematoria over a two year period, on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, to show which funeral directors or branch of funeral director’s undertook each funeral. Having initially refused to comply with the complainant’s request in reliance on section 12 of the FOIA, the Council determined that it should rely instead on section 43(2) – where disclosure would prejudice the Council’s and funeral directors’ commercial interests. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 43(2) to the information requested by the complainant and therefore the Council is entitled to withhold that information.
FOI 43:
Complaint not upheld
