The complainant has requested drafts of a response to a parliamentary e-petition. The Department for Education (DfE) provided a redacted version of the draft responses and relied on section 40(2) of FOIA (third party personal information) and section 42 of FOIA (legal professional privilege) to withhold the redacted information. The Commissioner’s decision is that DfE was entitled to rely on sections 40(2) and 42 of FOIA to withhold the redacted information. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
