Detected exemption language
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information (names and contact details of some individuals) contained in the correspondence you have requested because an exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why that exemption applies are explained below. Reasons for not providing information An exemption applies. An exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA (personal information) applies to a small amount of the information contained in the correspondence you have requested because it is personal data of a third party, i.e. names and contact details of some individuals, 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.
