Tate

The complainant has requested information about certain staff guidance. Tate disclosed some relevant information and withheld some under section 22, section 41 and section 43 of FOIA which concern information intended for future publication, information provided in confidence and commercial interests respectively. The Commissioner’s decision is that Tate is entitled to withhold some of the information the complainant has requested under section 22(1) and section 41(1) of FOIA. Tate breached section 10(1) and section 17(1) of FOIA as it did not communicate information or issue a refusal within the required timescale of 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require Tate to take any corrective steps.
