Response

I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested in the format you asked for.

Section 38(1)(b) – Personal data relating to a third party

An exemption under section 38(1)(b) (personal data of a third party) of FOISA applies to some of the information you have requested. Disclosing this information would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 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.
