HM Treasury
The complainant has requested information about Public Funding and Business Interruption insurance claims. HM Treasury (“HMT”) refused to provide it citing exemptions at section 35 (formulation/development of government policy), section 42 (legal professional privilege) and section 43 (commercial interests) as its basis for doing so. It amended this position at internal review by disclosing some information and by withdrawing reliance on section 43. The Commissioner’s decision is that HMT is entitled to rely on section 35(1)(a) and section 42(1) as its basis for withholding the remainder of the requested information. The Commissioner does not require further steps.FOI 35: Complaint not upheld FOI 42: Complaint not upheld
