Summary: The complainant has requested a copy of the agreement reached between the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and a number of banks in connection with the interest rate swaps compensation scheme. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the FSA correctly applied section 44 (prohibition on disclosure) and 21 (information accessible by other means) of FOIA. He does not therefore require any steps to be taken as a result of this notice. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 21 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 44 - Complaint Not upheld
