Summary: The complainant asked the Department for International Development (DFID) for information about its response to a report which had raised concerns about investments made by DFID and its partner organisation CDC, formerly the Commonwealth Development Corporation, including notes and minutes of meetings, reports by DFID-™s Counter Fraud Unit and correspondence with CDC. DFID initially refused to provide any information but subsequently disclosed some in redacted form. The Commissioner decided that DFID had correctly withheld information relying on sections 31, 40(2), 41 and 43 of the Act. He also decided that, in not disclosing some information by the close of its internal review, DFID had breached sections 1(1)(b), 10(1) and 17(1) of the Act.
