The complainant requested information concerning the funding provided by the Department for Education (DfE) to Durand Education Trust in support of the Durand Academy proposal. He specifically requested the business plan or plans submitted to the DfE including the project budget with detailed costs estimates relating to the proposal. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE incorrectly withheld some of the requested information under regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR (commercial confidentiality).
