UK Export Finance

The complainant submitted a request to UK Export Finance (UKEF) for a copy of the contract that was signed by Wood Group for the government-backed Green Transition Loan it received in 2021. UKEF confirmed that it held a copy of the contract and initially withheld it in full on the basis of regulations 12(5)(e) (commercial or industrial information) and 13 (personal data) of the EIR. It disclosed a redacted version of the contract during the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, again relying on the same two exceptions. The complainant disputed the application of regulation 12(5)(e). The Commissioner’s decision is that the parts of the contract redacted on the basis of regulation 12(5)(e) are exempt from disclosure on the basis of this exception and that all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours withholding this information.

EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 248455
