Department for Business Innovation and Skills (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50359714 (17 October 2011)
Summary: The Complainant made a request to the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) for information relating to details of meetings between UKTI DSO staff (including those overseas) and defence ministry officials and members of the armed forces of Algeria. BIS provided the complainant with some of the requested information but refused to provide some of the information under sections 24, section 26, section 27 and section 43 of the Act. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the withheld information was properly exempted on the grounds of prejudice to international relations, but that the statutory time limits for a response were not met.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 27 - Complaint Not upheld
