Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) seeking valuation and value for money reports relating to the purchase of an apartment in New York. The FCO confirmed that it held information falling within the scope of this request but it considered this to be exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 43(2) of FOIA and that in all the circumstances of the request the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.

FOI 43: Complaint not upheld
