- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.e: Partly upheld, EIR 12.5.e: Upheld
The complainant has requested information contained in submissions from HM Treasury officials to Ministers concerning Vehicle Excise Duty for Budgets 1999 and 2000. The public authority disclosed most of the information held and withheld the remainder relying on the exceptions at regulations 12(4)(e) EIR in respect of all of the withheld information and 12(5)(e) EIR in respect of some of the withheld information. The Commissioner partially upheld the application of regulation 12(4)(e) but concluded that the public authority was not entitled to rely on regulation 12(5)(e).
