    Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).

    Condition:

    Information which -

    • (a) falls within any of paragraphs 12 to 15, 17 and 18 above; and
    • (b) is not prevented from being exempt by virtue of the ‘qualifications’ above,

    is exempt information if and so long, as in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

Reason restricted justification

The report contains details of proposed contracts and the public interest in withholding the information outweighs the public interest in disclosure until the contracts have been entered into.

Mae’r adroddiad yn cynnwys manylion contractau arfaethedig ac mae’r budd i’r cyhoedd o ddatgelu’r wybodaeth yn cael ei gysgodi gan y budd i’r cyhoedd o beidio â’i datgelu nes mae’r contract wedi’i ddyrannu.
