Animal and Plant Health Agency

The complainant has requested inspection reports in respect of a kennels belonging to a hunt. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) withheld the information under section 40(2) of the FOIA – third party personal data. During the Commissioner’s investigation APHA also applied section 31 – law enforcement, to the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that APHA is entitled to withhold the reports under section 40(2). As this provides grounds for withholding the entirety of the information the Commissioner has not gone on to consider the application of section 31. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further action in this matter. 

FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fs50864491
