FOI 440 Internal Review
Dear L. Lluva,
I am writing further to our letter of 24 May 2010 regarding the Internal Review of our response
to FOI 440 and to advise you that we have now completed the internal review process.
Please note that in addition to having located, printed, indexed and collated the information
we hold relevant to your request we have now reviewed the information held, that is, minutes,
papers and summary reports relating to the Olympic Delivery Committee (ODC) meetings
which were produced in 2008. In reviewing this information we have considered whether any
of the information is exempt from disclosure, including applying the public interest test and
consulting third parties in instances where commercially sensitive information is included in
the material, often provided under confidentiality clauses.
We have now completed this exercise and have included with this letter the final documents
making up the information held in relation to your request.
We have provided below a table listing the following information:

Application of Exemptions
Under Section 2 of the Freedom of Information Act, the duty of a public authority to give
access to information does not apply in respect of information which is exempt under the Act,
applying the public interest balance, where necessary, to the application of the exemption.
You will note that we have applied the following exemptions to the information requested:
Section 40
Section 40 of the Act exempts personal data about a third party from disclosure if the
disclosure would:
• breach any of the Data Protection Principles under the Data Protection Act; or
• cause (or would be likely to cause) substantial distress to the individual concerned.
The First Data Principle requires that disclosure of personal data under the Freedom of
Information Act must be fair. We consider the names of staff below the level of Director and
those of third parties to be exempt from disclosure on the basis that:
• the information is personal data;
• disclosure of the information would be unfair to the person concerned and therefore in
breach of the Data Protection Principles.
We therefore consider that this constitutes personal data exempt from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act. We have therefore redacted from the documents the names of
staff below the level of Director or equivalent and those of any third parties.
Please accept our apologies for the delays experienced in completing this exercise.
Yours sincerely,
Public Liaison Unit
London Development Agency
