Department for International Trade

The complainant has requested information on a meeting between the Department for International Trade (“DIT”) and BAE Systems. The Commissioner’s decision is that DIT has appropriately applied sections 27(1) – International relations and 43(2) – Commercial interests. She has determined that there is not an overriding public interest in disclosure of this specific information and the public interest therefore favours maintaining the exemptions. DIT is correct in its application of section 40(2) – Personal information, to withhold one name. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.

FOI 43(2): Complaint not upheld FOI 27: Complaint not upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld
