Department for Business and Trade

The complainant requested from the Department of Business and Trade (‘the DBT’), information relating to an approved arms licence. The DBT refused the request on the basis that the exemptions in sections 41, 40(2), 43 and 36(2)(b)(i)&(ii) of FOIA applied. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DBT was correct to apply the exemptions in section 41(1) and 36(2)(b)(i)&(ii), and the public interest rests in the information being withheld. The Commissioner does not require the DBT to take any steps.

FOI 36(2)(b)(i): Complaint not upheld FOI 42(1): Complaint not upheld FOI 36(2)(b)(ii): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 214141
