holds on request, unless there is an exemption. It is the Council’s policy
only to apply the exemptions where there is a genuine risk of harm or
prejudice.
 
Section 17 of the Act provides that when refusing a request, Bolton
Council must provide a notice which (a) states that fact, (b) specifies
the exemption in question, and (c) states (if that would not otherwise be
apparent) why the exemption applies.
