Our ref: FOI-1881-1920

Thank you for your request received on 23 September 2019 asking for meeting minutes relating to NCP. I apologise for the delay in replying to you.

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 the information you requested. You asked:

Can we please have just the minutes from any meetings held between TFL and NCP, or regarding the contract between TFL and NCP, between January 2018 and August 2019.

Please find attached the information you requested.

In accordance with the FOI Act, financial information has been redacted as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information under section 43(2).

In this instance the exemption has been applied as disclosure of financial discussions would be likely to prejudice our commercial interests. Disclosing financial information would be likely to prejudice our commercial interests as it would be likely to adversely affect the amount we obtain through our future negotiations with commercial partners.

The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. TfL recognises the need for openness and transparency by public authorities, particularly where the use of public assets, but in this instance the public interest in ensuring that TfL is able to obtain the best value from public assets, outweighs the general public interest in increasing transparency of TfL’s processes.

Further, please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, 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’.

If this is not the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact me.

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

Yours sincerely,

Melissa Nichols

FOI Case Officer

General Counsel
