Summary: The complainant requested from the Department of Work and Pensions any information about any funding it provided to the Leeds City Credit Union. The authority confirmed that it held information but withheld it from disclosure on the basis that section 43(2) (commercial interests) applied. On review it confirmed that decision. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Department for Work and Pensions was correct to apply the exemption in section 43 to the information and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs that in disclosing the information.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 43 - Complaint Not upheld
