Dear Lisa Greathead,

If as you have indicated that I have been told the truth by this officer title under request under Freedom of Information Act, then why did you inform me in your response 5 February 2016 here https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/i... and then provide me https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/3...

That contains a reference to this account in this response. Are you now inferring to me by your public statement 10 May 2017 that "Information not held - This account has been closed for over 7 years" that this information given to me 5 February above was fabricated purely for this request for "Information pertaining to 4137 Land Auction Pilot Holding Account X409" which was made 18 January 2016.

Please be consistent with the truth.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Newbold

I refer to your emails dated 12 May 2017.

I am unable to provide you with the officers title as this is exempt information under Section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act 'personal data'. Personal data includes, name, job title, address, telephone number etc, this is an absolute exemption and will not be provided.

As previously stated this account was closed in 2010/11 so advised you that no information was held.

The figure you refer to was a miscode in 2012 therefore our response remains information not held

Yours sincerely

Lisa Greathead
Information Officer

Dear Information Officer,

Can you please elaborate using the information below as reasoning as to why you feel this information is exempt/ protected.

As is it is not something that you can do I suggest you pass this to either someone who can or your provide the information which I will continue to couch you for until it is forthcoming.

Dear Information Officer,

You cannot claim Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 'personal data' includes names, addresses, and occupations of individuals, and claim it, therefore, will not be provided.

I take on board the merit of Section 40(2) but am of the opinion that this information can be either provided as it stands or redacted through a reasonable process. This information is also available in the declaration of payments account list for payments over £500.00 on the Council website., which shows this personal data details How can then this be correct advice you are then giving me here?

I am entitled to inspect this information on demand it is part of the Council Accounts.
