Department for Transport

The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Department for Transport for details of representations made by airlines on the future of the EU 261 regulation and passenger compensation arrangements after the UK leaves the European Union. The DfT refused the request under the exemption in section 35(1)(a) (formulation and development of policy) and section 27 (international relations). The Commissioner has decided that section 35(1)(a) was correctly applied to the withheld information and the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
