Summary: The complainant has requested correspondence regarding advice provided to Ministers in relation to the Feed-In Tariff (-FIT-) subsidy for solar generation. The Department of Energy and Climate Control (-DECC-) identified information within the scope of the request but withheld it on the basis of regulation 12(4)(e). The Commissioner-s decision is that DECC has correctly applied the internal communications exception and the public interest favours withholding the information.
