HM Treasury (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50143102 (22 March 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested information about the sale of part of the UK Gold reserve announced in May 1999, by HM Treasury. HM Treasury applied exemptions at section 27 (1) (a), 29 (1) (b) and section 35 (1) (a) to the withheld information. The Commissioner considers that most of the information requested is exempt by virtue of section 29 (1) (b). The Commissioner has however identified a small portion of the withheld information which he does not consider to be exempt and accordingly finds HM Treasury in breach of section 1(1)(b) and section 10 (1) of the Act for not providing it within the statutory timescales. The Commissioner has detailed that information in an Annex to this decision notice to be served only on HM Treasury.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 27 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 29 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 35 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Upheld
