Department for Transport

The complainant has requested DfT to disclose correspondence sent to or from the Secretary of State for Transport relating to 26, 27 and/or 28 February 2022, in which discussions took place over a flight which took off from Inverness Airport to Moscow on 26 February 2022. DfT refused to disclose the requested information, citing sections 27(1)(a) and (b), 35(1)(b) and 36(2)(b)(ii) of FOIA. At internal review, it also stated that it wished to rely on sections 35(1)(a), 40 and 42 of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that DfT is entitled to rely on sections 35(1)(a) and (b) and 36(2)(b)(ii) of FOIA. He therefore does not require any further action to be taken.

FOI 35(1)(a): Complaint not upheld FOI 35(1)(b): Complaint not upheld FOI 36(2)(b)(ii): Complaint not upheld
