Science Museum Group

The complainant has requested any details and correspondence held between the Science Museum Group (SMG) and the Cabinet Office relating to the Adani Group or its subsidiaries over a certain timeframe. The same information was also requested between the SMG and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS). The SMG provided the information it held in a redacted form, withholding some of the information under sections 36, 43(2), 40(2), and section 21 of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that SMG has appropriately cited section 36(2)(c) of FOIA and that the public interest favours non-disclosure. SMG also cited section 43(2) of FOIA correctly and the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner has also concluded, on the balance of probability, that no further information falling within scope is held by the SMG. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.

FOI 43(2): Complaint not upheld FOI 36: Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 206584
