Response
Attached is a copy of most of the information requested. Names and contact details have been redacted from the information provided because an exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA (personal information) applies to that information. It is personal data of a third party, and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018. This exemption is not subject to the ‘public interest test’, so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption.
