Welsh Government

The complainant requested from the Welsh Government (WG) information relating to the final Fera Science reports. The WG provided some of the information but redacted certain parts as it considered it personal data about a third party and cited regulation 13(1) (personal information) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that regulation 13(1) of the EIR is not engaged as the withheld information does not comprise personal data. The Commissioner requires the WG to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. • The WG must disclose the information withheld under regulation 13(1) of the EIR. The WG must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

EIR 13(1): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 258361
