Summary: The complainant has requested details of meetings and discussions with any organisation about the potential for those organisations to take on land currently within the Forestry Commission-™s public forest estate. DEFRA identified four pieces of information within the scope of the request and withheld them on the basis of regulation 12(4)(e). The Commissioner-™s decision is that DEFRA has correctly applied the internal communications exception and the public interest favours withholding the information.
