The complainant has requested Management Information System Online (“MISO”) information from the Cabinet Office. The Cabinet Office refused to provide this citing section 43 (commercial interests exemption) as its basis for doing so. It upheld this at internal review. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, it revised its position and made a disclosure under FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office is entitled to rely on section 43 as its basis for withholding the information which remains withheld within the scope of the request. No steps are required.
FOI 43: Not upheld
