SPT Publication Scheme
5. Exemptions
Strathclyde Partnership for Transport’s aim is to be as open as possible. However the Act permits a limited number of exemptions from the requirement to disclose information.
There may be some circumstances where it is necessary to withhold information from any of the classes of information set out in this scheme where we consider that disclosure, for example, may prejudice law enforcement or legal proceedings, may be exempt or where the disclosure is otherwise prohibited by law. We may also withhold information that may prejudice the commercial interests or confidentiality of any person or organisation including Strathclyde Partnership for Transport and information which is personal information under the Data Protection Act 1998.
In these cases we will withhold the information and indicate why the information is being withheld.
