20 July 2017, Central government
The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Department for Transport (DfT) for communications between DfT ministers and officials, and Govia and Southern Railway. The DfT disclosed some information but withheld other information under the exemptions in sections 36 (prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs), 41 (information provided in confidence) and 43 (commercial interests). The Commissioner’s decision is that section 36 is engaged in respect of the withheld information and the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 36: Not upheld
