The complainant has requested information on software licences purchased by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA provided information for parts of the request but considered that the discount on the normal list price for the licence agreement was exempt on the basis of section 43(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that the FCA has correctly applied the provisions of section 43(2) and the balance of the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption. He requires no steps to be taken.
