The Information Commissioner says the Department for Enterprise must give a new response to a Freedom of Information request about staff bonuses.
Employee contracts were provided, but the DfE redacted some information, claiming it was personal data.

It adds the government department should look at how they keep records to make sure information is easily accessible.
