Therefore, the exemption relied upon to not disclose does not apply.
The more relevant exemption would be section 43, the commercial interest exemption, but presumably this does not apply as the Council have not quoted it. I would advise Mr Chamberlain to ask for this refusal to disclose to be reviewed.
It would seem to be in the public interest to know how much money third parties are paid by the Council for this kind of project.
If Mr Chamberlain wants to write to post a message to WGCARA.com then they will pass the comment to me and I would be glad to help him to formulate a request for review.
