Department for Transport (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50280918 (16 August 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested the minutes of any meetings held by the Secretary of State for Transport, Lord Adonis, leading to and pertaining to the nationalisation and reorganisation of the East Coast Main Line. Although most of the information was disclosed, some information was withheld under sections 40(2), 40(3)(a)(i), and 43(2). After investigating the case the Commissioner decided that the Department for Transport was correct to rely upon these exemptions in order to withhold the outstanding information. However, the Commissioner found that the DfT did not meet the requirements of section 17.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 43 - Complaint Not upheld
