The complainant has requested the DHSC to disclose copies of any correspondence, including letters and emails, between Emily Lawson and Baroness Michelle Mone since March 2020 relating to personal protective equipment sold to the government by the company PPE Medpro. The DHSC refused to disclose the information citing section 43 of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DHSC is entitled to refuse to disclose the requested information in accordance with section 43 of FOIA. He has also recorded a breach of section 10 of FOIA, as the DHSC failed to respond to the complainant’s request within 20 working days of receipt.
