Dear Mr Wilson

Freedom of Information: Right to know request

Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the
Act).  Full details of which are attached in Annex A.

Having now considered your request, the information we can disclose to you
is attached in Annex B.  The remainder is exempt from disclosure because
it is the FCA’s policy not to disclose the names of representatives of
other organisations.  As the redacted names relate to the personal data of
an individual other than yourself section 40 (Personal Information)
therefore applies.    A detailed explanation as to why this exemption
applies can be found in Annex C.

Yours sincerely

Annex C

·             Section 40  - Personal Information

  To the extent that the information that we hold contains personal data
about an individual, section 40(2)(b) of the Act provides that "Any
information to which a request for information relates is also exempt
information if … either the first or second condition below (see sections
40(3) and 40(4) of the Act) is satisfied".

We have applied this exemption because the first condition (as stated in
section 40(3) of the Act) is satisfied as some of the information
requested comprises the personal data of individuals other than yourself,
which if disclosed would breach the Principles in the Data Protection Act
1998.  It would be a breach of Principle 1 to disclose such information,
as it would not be lawful or fair to the individuals concerned who have
not given their consent for this personal detail to be made    public and
the release of such information may be detrimental to the individuals   
themselves.
