Department for Business Innovation and Skills (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50406981 (03 November 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested, pursuant to his research into the provision of state aid to Post Office Ltd (POL), financial details contained within a European Commission (EC) document State aid No N 508/2010 -“ United Kingdom. The Commissioner-™s decision is that BIS correctly withheld some of the requested information relying on the section 43 exemption, after taking the balance of the public interest into account, but also wrongly withheld some information where the public interest favoured disclosure. In one instance he decided that the section 43(2) exemption was not engaged. The Commissioner requires BIS, to ensure compliance with the legislation, to disclose an amended version of document State aid No N 508/2010 subject to the redactions set out in a confidential schedule. (This schedule has been sent only to BIS to enable it to make the necessary redactions.)
