Summary: The complainant requested information about a tender exercise carried out for the provision of wildlife and habitat management at Newquay Cornwall Airport. The public authority dealt with the request under the provisions of the Act but, following the Commissioner-™s intervention, subsequently considered the provisions of the EIR. The public authority disclosed some information but stated that other information was exempt from disclosure under regulation 12(5)(e). The Commissioner-™s decision is that some information was correctly withheld but that other information should have been disclosed. The Commissioner has therefore ordered disclosure of all information falling within the scope of the request except that which the Commissioner has concluded is exempt on the basis of regulation 12(5)(e). The Commissioner has also identified a number of procedural shortcomings in the way the public authority handled the complainant-™s request.
