Dear James,

Further to my email below, as you can see in the attachment, exact counts
totalling five or less have been withheld because these are personal data
of third parties or, if linked with other personal identifiers in the
public domain, would be likely to become  personal data. This information
has been withheld under section 40(2) of  the FOIA by virtue of s40
(3)(a)(i).

Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public authority to withhold 
information under the FOIA where (i) the requested information is
personal  data relating to someone other than the requester and (ii) its
disclosure  would breach any of the data protection principles. In this
case we  believe that the requested information could relate to and
identify  individuals and would be considered as their personal data. The
disclosure  of this personal data would not be within the reasonable
expectations of the individuals concerned and it would be unfair to do so;
this therefore breaches the first data protection principle.

It is for these reasons that this information is exempt under section
40(2) of the Act.

As the section 40(2) exemption is an absolute one, there is no need to
conduct a public interest test.

Kind regards,

Hina
