UK Trade and Investment (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50476007 (02 April 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested information about a proposed coalmine in Bangladesh known as the Phulbari Coal Project, and the London-based, AIM-listed company backing the project, GCM Resources. UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) withheld one document in full under section 27(1)(a) and (d), section 43(2) and section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). It made another redaction under section 27(1)(a) and (d) FOIA to another document. Further information was provided in part however this does not fall within the scope of the complaint. The Commissioner-™s decision is that UKTI has correctly applied section 27(1)(a) FOIA to withhold the document in full and to make the redaction referred to above. The Commissioner did not therefore consider the application of section 27(1)(d), section 43(2) or section 40(2) FOIA any further. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 27 - Complaint Not upheld
