Disclosure of this specific information would risk identifying the individuals concerned and therefore a disclosure of their personal details. This information is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Personal Data).  The 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 the information is withheld
