Department for the Economy

The complainant requested information relating to the Northern Ireland Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme. The Department for the Economy (“DfE”) withheld the information under the exceptions for material in the course of completion – regulation 12(4)(d) of the EIR and internal communications (regulation 12(4)(e)). The Commissioner’s decision is that DfE correctly withheld the requested information under regulation 12(4)(d). He does not require DfE to take any steps.
