Department for Business and Trade
The complainant has requested information on the government’s response to a consultation on metric and imperial units of measurement. DBT refused the request in reliance of FOIA section 35(1) – formulation of government policy and section 22(1) – information intended for future publication. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 35(1) is engaged but the public interest favours disclosure and section 22(1) is not engaged in the particular circumstances of this case. The Commissioner requires DBT to disclose the draft government response to ensure compliance with the legislation.FOI 35: Complaint upheld FOI 22: Complaint upheld
