Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA)
11 July 2017, Central government
The complainant has requested information relating to the attributes of a number of catalytic converters. The Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) refused to provide the information, citing the exceptions provided by regulation 12(5)(d) – confidentiality of proceedings and 12(5)(f) – voluntary supply of information. During the Commissioner’s investigation the VCA also introduced the exception provided by regulation 12(5)(b) – course of justice. The Commissioner’s decision is that none of the exceptions claimed are engaged. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information that has been withheld under the exceptions provided by regulation 12(5)(b),(d) and (f).
