South Hams District Council
The complainant has requested, from South Hams District Council (“the Council”), information about its household waste management contract. The Council disclosed some information but refused to provide the remainder citing regulations 12(5)(e) (Confidentiality of commercial or industrial information), 12(5)(f) (Interests of the person who provided the information to the public authority) and 13(1) (Personal Information) of the EIR. At a late stage, the Council also advised that some information was not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to withhold the pricing information in Schedule 3 under regulation 12(5)(e). In respect of the names of any parties who were responsible for signing off any part of the contract it should take the step below. He also finds that, at the time of the request, no information regarding ‘compensation’ was held. The Commissioner requires the Council to disclose the names (and job role if included) of the parties responsible for signing off any parts of the contract.
