An exemption applies
An exemption under sections s.38(1)(b) personal information of FOISA applies to some the information you have requested.

This exemption applies because the information is personal data of a third person (ie. names and signatures) and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles of the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation and in regulation 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018.

This exemption is not subject to the ‘public interest test’, so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption
