  • Decision(s) EIR 12.5.b: Not upheld, EIR 12.5.e: Upheld

The complainant has requested Tate to disclose minutes of meetings relating to the Tate Modern extension project and the terms and appointment with Mace; the Construction Manager. Tate disclosed some information but refused to disclose other information citing sections 42 and 43 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request should have been considered under the EIR. Tate stated that if the Commissioner decided the request is EIR, it wished to rely on regulations 12(5)(b) and 12(5)(e). The Commissioner has considered these exceptions. She has decided that regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR does apply to the remaining withheld information under this exception. However, the Commissioner has decided that regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR does not apply in this case. She therefore requires Tate to disclose all remaining withheld information, withheld under regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR.
