Royal Mail (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50385041 (22 February 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested the following information: approximately how many -Clearance Fees- (whether the amount was for £8.00 or £13.50) were requested/charged by Parcelforce in 2010? And what is Parcelforce-s current policy/position regarding parcel recipients who agree to pay all HMRC customs charged, but dispute paying an administrative fee? Royal Mail disclosed the information requested in part 2 of the complainant-s request, however it refused to disclose the information requested in part 1 (the withheld information), citing the exemption at 43(2) of the FOIA (commercial interests) as a basis for non-disclosure. The Information Commissioner-s decision is that Royal Mail correctly applied the section 43(2) exemption to the withheld information and requires no steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 43 - Complaint Not upheld
