Summary: The complainant has requested, among other things, copies of the minutes and agenda of a meeting between the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Atos, a private provider of services. The DWP disclosed most of the contents of these papers but considered that parts were exempt information under section 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that section 43(2) of FOIA is not engaged. He therefore requires the DWP to disclose all the information to which the exemption had originally been applied to ensure compliance with the legislation.
