Department for Transport
9 October 2017, Central government
The complainant has requested information about the Mersey Gateway Bridge. Department for Transport (DfT) released information within the scope of one of the requests and says it holds no further relevant information. DfT said information that it holds that is within the scope of two of the requests is exempt from release under section 42 of the FOIA as it attracts legal professional privilege. The Commissioner’s decision is that: DfT does not hold further information within the scope of request 4 and has complied with section 1(1) with regard to this request. The information DfT holds that is within the scope of requests 1 and 2 is exempt from release under section 42(1), with the public interest favouring maintaining the exemption.
FOI 1: Not upheld FOI 42: Not upheld
