- Decision(s) FOI 27: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information about a decision to provide, and then subsequently to suspend, UK aid to Rwanda. The Department for International Development (“DfID”) refused the request citing a number of exemptions, most significantly section 27 (International relations). The Commissioner’s decision is that DfID was entitled to rely upon section 27 to withhold the information. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2013/0217 dismissed
