Leeds City Council

The complainant has requested information about the ‘Empowering mothers against grooming and radicalisation project’ funded by Leeds City Council. The Council provided some information falling within the scope of the request but refused the remainder, citing section 24(1) -safeguarding of national security and 31(1)a – prevention and detection of crime, of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Leeds City Council is entitled to rely on section 24(1) to withhold the information, and therefore she did not need consider the application of section 31(1)a. She also finds that the Council breached section 1(1)a of the FOIA by failing to notify the complainant that it did not hold some of the requested information.

FOI 24: Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
