The complainant submitted a request to the Department for International Development (DFID) for a copy of a report produced by KPMG in respect of the administration of how a research programme was being conducted by a Sri Lankan based non-governmental organisation, the International Centre for Ethnic Studies (ICES).

The Commissioner has concluded that the requested information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of the exemption contained at section 41(1) of FOIA.
