The Royal Mint
29 April 2015, Other
The complainant has requested information from The Royal Mint about UK and overseas retail trade sales of commemorative coins. The Royal Mint has disclosed some information falling within the scope of the request and in respect of the remainder of the information has refused to disclose it citing FOIA section 43 – Commercial interests. The Commissioner’s decision is that The Royal Mint has correctly engaged the exemption at section 43. He notes however that some of the information was disclosed outside of the statutory time limit and accordingly The Royal Mint has breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require The Royal Mint to take any further steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
FOI 10: Upheld FOI 43: Not upheld
