Department for Transport
6 September 2016, Central government
The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Department for Transport (DfT) for information about the use of the airport at Manston Kent during Channel Tunnel and Ferry disruptions. The DfT refused the request under the exemption in section 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is exempt under section 43(2) and the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
FOI 43: Not upheld
