The complainant has requested work plan information for the Government’s decision whether or not to proceed with the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project. Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) withheld the requested information under Regulations 12(4)(d)(material in the course of completion) and 12(4)(e)(internal communications) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR). The Commissioner considers that all of the withheld information is exempt from disclosure under Regulation 12(4)(e) and that the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exception. No steps are required by the public authority.
