Our response

Questions 1-3: The information is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA).  The information is personal data as defined by the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA). As it is information about someone else I’m unable to give this to you; release of this information would constitute a breach of Principle 1 of the DPA. Principle 1 states that personal data shall be processed (used) fairly and lawfully and, in particular, shall not be used unless at least one of the conditions in Schedule 2 of the DPA is met; in this case none of those conditions have been met. This response therefore acts as a refusal notice under section 17 of the FoIA.
