24 November 2016, Central government
The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Department for Transport for information on its role in monitoring Thomas Cook. The DfT refused the request under the exemptions in section 35(1)(a) (formulation and development of government policy), section 41 (information provided in confidence), section 43(2) (commercial interests) and section 44(1)(a) (prohibitions on disclosure). The Commissioner’s decision is that DfT has correctly applied the exemptions in sections 35(1)(a), 41(1), 43(2), 40(2) and 44(1)(a) but that it breached section 10(3) in it handling of the request. The Commissioner’s requires no steps to be taken.
