We answered

TfL Ref: FOI-1759-1819

Thank you for your letter as attached, received by us on 5 September 2018 asking for licensing information about two individuals.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our Information Access Policy. I can confirm we do hold some of the information you require.

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation we are not able to provide the personal data on the two individuals you asked about as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Sara Thomas
