Dear Mr Wagstaff
Thank you for your e-mail dated 9 March 2009.
The reason for applying the exemption and not providing you with the names
or the team members that undertake investments was because those Officers
are not Senior Officers of the Council. Any investments made by them are
authorised by a Principal Accountant or the Financial Services Manager.
They are not personally responsible. In addition it was considered that
the names would not add to the value of the information being provided.
Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act provides an exemption from
disclosing information about identifiable individuals where it would
breach the Data Protection Act and this is the paragraph that should have
been referred to, not paragraph 41.
Yours sincerely
