Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FER0469994 (13 June 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to the badger and bovine tuberculosis proposals shared between Defra and the National Farmers Union (NFU), and Defra and Natural England. In response, Defra has provided some information but withheld four risk and issue logs under regulations 12(4)(e) (internal communications) and 12(5)(d) (confidentiality of proceedings) of the EIR. The Commissioner has decided that regulation 12(5)(d), but not 12(4)(e), is engaged and that, in all the circumstances, the public interest favours disclosure. The Commissioner therefore requires the disclosure of the specified risk and issue logs.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12.4.e - Complaint Upheld, EIR 12.5.d - Complaint Upheld
