- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant requested information relating to the Department for International Development’s (DFID) support and contribution to two International Finance Corporation Development Facilities. DFID withheld the information under section 27 of the Act (international relations). The Commissioner finds that the section 27 exemption has been correctly applied and the information should not be disclosed. However, the Commissioner identified a series of procedural shortcomings on the part of the public authority. He requires no steps to be taken.
