Having reviewed your request, I consider that this matter is exempt from disclosure under section 402. of the FOI Act. This is on the grounds that it amounts to personal data and the first condition under section 403.a.i. is satisfied, namely, that disclosure would amount to a breach of the first data protection principle personal data should be processed fairly and lawfully. as the individuals concerned would have a reasonable expectation that their information would not be disclosed into the public domain.
