Department for the Economy

The complainant has requested information about Northern Ireland’s minerals and petroleum licensing policy review. The Department for the Economy (DfE/’the Department’) has disclosed some information and is withholding the remainder under regulation 12(4)(d), regulation 12(4)(e) and regulation 13 of the EIR, which concern material still in the course of completion, internal communications and personal data, respectively. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: At the time of the request, DfE correctly applied regulation 12(4)(d) of the EIR to the information it withheld, and the public interest favoured maintaining this exception. The Commissioner does not require DfE to take any corrective steps.

EIR 12(4)(d): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: ic-98828
