Welsh Government
27 April 2017, Central government
The complainant requested details of financial support that the Welsh Government had given to a particular company. The Welsh Government withheld the information under section 43(2) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation the Welsh Government withdrew reliance on section 43 and stated that it considered sections 29(1)(b) and 36(2)(c) to apply to the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Welsh Government has incorrectly withheld the requested information under sections 29(1)(b) and 36(2)(c). She also finds that the Welsh Government met its obligations under section 16 of the FOIA during the internal review. The Commissioner requires the Welsh Government to disclose the information withheld under sections 29(1)(b) and 36(2)(c) to the complainant.
FOI 29: Upheld FOI 36: Upheld FOI 16: Not upheld
