Department for Education
In a three-part request, the complainant requested information from the Department for Education (DfE) about Early Career Framework providers. DfE addressed two parts and relied on section 43(2) of FOIA (commercial interests) to refuse to disclose the information requested in Q2. The complainant was dissatisfied with DfE’s response to Q2 and Q3. During the Commissioner’s investigation DfE confirmed it’s relying on section 43(2) of FOIA in respect of Q3 and that it has also now applied section 36(2)(c) to both Q2 and Q3. Section 36 concerns prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs. The Commissioner has decided that the information the complainant has requested in Q2 and Q3 is exempt from disclosure under 43(2) of FOIA. It’s not necessary for DfE to take any corrective steps.FOI 43: Complaint not upheld
