HM Treasury

The complainant has requested reports by Hanbury Strategy. HM Treasury (“HMT”) refused to provide these citing the FOIA exemptions at section 35 (formulation/development of government policy) and section 43 (prejudice to commercial interests) as its basis for doing so. It upheld this at internal view. The Commissioner’s decision is that HMT is entitled to rely on section 35 as its basis for withholding the requested information. No steps are required.
