The Commissioner found that information pertaining to the names of MPs� staff is information which is exempt from disclosure under the Act on the basis of a certificate signed by the Speaker of the House under section 36(7) of the Act. The Commissioner however, found that the House incorrectly applied the exemptions under sections 38 and 40(2) to the names of MPs� staff. The House of Commons withheld the salary details of MPs� staff on the basis that it holds this information on behalf of MPs and therefore that the information is not held by the House of Commons for the purposes of section 3(2) of the Act. In addition, the House argued that the salaries of MPs� staff are exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) of the Act.
