The complainant has requested two draft versions of a Life Cycle Analysis document on absorbent hygiene products, as well as any comments or feedback from various parties. Defra explained any comments or feedback had been provided in response to an earlier request but considered the drafts should be withheld under regulation 12(4)(d) of EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that regulation 12(4)(d) was engaged in relation to the draft documents but that the public interest in disclosure outweighs the public interest in maintaining the exception and withholding the information. The Commissioner requires Defra to disclose the draft versions of the Life Cycle Analysis from 9 February 2022 and 6 June 2022.EIR 12(4)(d): Complaint upheld
Decision notice: 252711
