Department for Business and Trade

The complainant has requested information on interactions between government and an organisation named Hakluyt . DBT provided redacted copies of the information it held. It relied on FOIA sections 43 – Commercial interests; 40(2) – Personal information; 41(1) – Information provided in confidence; 36(2)(b)(i) and 36(2)(c) – Prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs to redact the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the exemptions at FOIA sections 36(2)(b)(i) and 36(2)(c) are engaged and the public interest by a narrow margin favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require further steps.

FOI 36(2): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 238809
