The complainant has requested information about membership of the risk protection arrangement scheme.  The Department for Education (DfE) has withheld the information under section 43(2) of the FOIA (commercial interests) and considers the public interest favours maintaining this exemption. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 43(2) of the FOIA and the public interest favours maintaining this exemption. The Commissioner does not require DfE to take any remedial steps.
