The complainant requested information from Royal Mail in relation to its Smart Stamp service. Royal Mail confirmed that the requested information was held but withheld it from disclosure under section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (Prejudice to commercial interests). The Commissioner has concluded that Royal Mail correctly applied this exemption. He considers the exemption to be engaged in respect of all the requested information with the public interest favouring the maintenance of the exemption. An appeal was made to the Information Tribunal but the Tribunal has ruled on this appeal and dismissed the appeal.
