Department for Transport (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50381429 (08 February 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested correspondence between the Department for Transport and the Duchy of Cornwall in relation to the Marine Navigation Aids Bill. The Department for Transport refused the request under section 37(1)(a) of the Act which provides an exemption where information relates to correspondence with The Queen, The Royal Family and The Royal Household. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the section 37(1)(a) exemption is engaged but that the public interest in maintaining the exemption does not outweigh the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the requested information to the complainant.
