Housing Ombudsman

The complainant has requested information about complaints submitted to the Housing Ombudsman Service (HOS) about a specific housing organisation.  HOS is relying on section 40(2) of the FOIA (third person personal data) to withhold the information the complainant has requested. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows:  HOS is entitled to rely on section 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold the requested information.  It is the personal data of third persons and disclosure would contravene a data protection principle. The Commissioner does not require HOS to take any remedial steps.

FOI 40: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fs50834555
