Tees Valley Combined Authority

The complainant has requested information on the income and expenditure of ‘Teesworks Ltd’ for 2020/21 financial year. Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) initially refused to disclose the information, stating that Teesworks Ltd was not subject to FOIA. However, at internal review TVCA disclosed some of the requested information but withheld the majority citing section 43(2) (Commercial interests) of FOIA to do so. During the Commissioner’s investigation it revised its position and disclosed further redacted information maintaining section 43(2) for those redactions. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information engages section 43(2), and the balance of the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require any further steps as a result of this decision.

FOI 43(2): Complaint not upheld
