Department for International Trade
The complainant submitted a request to the Department for International Trade (DIT) seeking copies of email correspondence sent between named individuals. The DIT confirmed that it held information falling within the scope of the request but explained that it needed additional time to consider the balance of the public interest test. To date, the DIT has failed to complete its public interest test deliberations in relation to the request. By failing to complete these deliberations within a reasonable timeframe the Commissioner has concluded that the DIT has breached section 17(3) of FOIA in respect of its handling of this request.FOI 17: Complaint upheld
