It is entirely possible the ICO guidance doesn't reference the A&A regs but
that is neither here nor there as the ICO has always had the view that the
names of senior staff should be released, particularly as most senior
employee names are already in the public domain on the relevant authority
website.
They held that view right at the 'going live' of FOI in Jan 2005 and nothing
has changed.

Subject: [data-protection] Release of personal data
It's not being published under the new Gvt's transparency agenda though is
it Steve, it's the law under Regulation 4 of the Accounts and Audit
(Amendment Number 2) (England) Regulations 2009 (SI 2009 No. 3322) which
introduced a legal requirement for reporting remuneration of senior
employees.
As I understand it we have to publish the following:
individual data on all senior employees earning more than £150,000 by job
title and name individual data on all senior employees earnings between
£50,000 and £150,000 by job title only banded data on all other employees
earning over £50,000.
The ICO guidance quoted in those articles fails to acknowledge that this
requirement is now in place, but that could be selective cutting and pasting
on behalf of that website. I'm sure if you asked the ICO they would quote
the Accounts and Audit (Amendment Number 2) (England) Regulations at you to
say you have to release those names over £150k now.
We are already publishing names of those earning above £150k as required by
this law. p47 of
