1. In relation to Freedom of Information requests, please provide your internal public interest test policy.
We do not have an internal public interest test policy, we refer to guidance provided by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
2. Please provide me a copy of all your responses to FOI Requests in 2022 that you deemed vexatious?
Please refer to this email response document.
Redactions have been made under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (Personal Data). Devon County Council cannot disclose personal information, if releasing it would contravene any of the provisions in the Data Protection Act 2018. In this instance release of this information would contravene the first data protection principle and therefore Section 40(2) is applied.

Requestor 1 = 10
