- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 43: Not upheld
The Commissioner’s decision is that UK Space Agency (UKSA) is entitled to withhold information about the SABRE project under section 43(2) of FOIA. Disclosure would be likely to prejudice another person’s commercial interests and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. UKSA has indicated that it has withdrawn its reliance on section 43 with regard to some of the information and that it will now disclose this. UKSA has therefore breached section 10(1) of FOIA as it did not communicate that information within 20 working days of the request. UKSA must now take the following step to ensure it complies with the legislation: If it has not already done so, disclose to the complainant the milestone description headings and Government Financing Activity values information.
