Request
Details of any spending on private car hire and chauffeur services and details of who received these services in the 2022-23 financial year.
Response
The information, if held by the Council, would be part of the either the payment to suppliers or GPC transactions data which is available on the Council’s website at:
https://www.dover.gov.uk/Corporate-Information/Financial-Information/Payments-to-Suppliers/Payments-to-Suppliers.aspx
https://www.dover.gov.uk/Corporate-Information/Financial-Information/GPC/GPC-Transactions.aspx
Details of those who may have received the service is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act as the Council considers the names of individual members of staff to be personal data. The names of staff working in public authorities are personal data as defined by Article 4(1) of GDPR and also Section 3 of the Data Protection Act 2018 and the release of this data would contravene the data protection principles. The data on the website will provide the cost centre and will therefore show which department the member of staff works in.
