Official records that contain third party references
James Martin made this Freedom of Information request to Information Commissioner’s Office
Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Information Commissioner’s Office should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.
From: James Martin
28 April 2009
Dear Sir or Madam,
I notice that many Local Authorities are appearing to claim that
official records that contain third party references are
automatically exempt from disclosure under the FOI Act?
Could you please confirm:
i) On what grounds can a Public Authority refuse disclosure of
documents containing alleged third party references?
ii) How can an individual or other interested party obtain
disclosure of the document by having it 'anonymised' by the Public
Authority thereby protecting the alleged third party rights?
Yours faithfully,
James Martin

Dear Mr Martin
Thank you for your email dated 28 April 2009.
Although your email is entitled 'Freedom of Information request' it is not
actually a request for recorded information held by the Information
Commissioner's Office, but an enquiry about the application of the Freedom
of Information Act. I am therefore forwarding it to our Customer Service
Team who will respond to you as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely
Adam Stevens
Assistant Internal Compliance Manager

Dear Mr Martin
Further to our email letter of yesterday, can you please supply a personal
email or postal address for further correspondence. While have no
objection at all to providing information to any address provided by the
requester, if practicable, it would be more normal for general business
correspondence to be written directly to the correspondent.
In the meantime, if you have not already done so, you may wish to read
guidance we have published on our website on the application of the
exemption in section 40 of the FOIA. General guidance is provided here:

We also have further guidance specifically dealing with the disclosure of
names:

Dear Mr Smith,
I would normally be happy to provide a personal email address but
as I wish to utilise the 'whatdotheyknow' website (as I find it an
excellent facility for communicating with a Public Body such as
yours) I would ask you to communicate with me via this email
address.
If that poses you a problem then please provide me the reasons why
you wish to have my private email address communicated publicly on
this website?
I cannot imagine a situation where the ICO would not want to
communicate 'publicly' about a general enquiry such as mine.
Yours sincerely,
James Martin
