- Decision(s) FOI 27: Not upheld
The complainant has requested a breakdown of costs for the Migration and Economic Development Partnership (MEDP) between Rwanda and the UK. The Home Office provided links to some information in the public domain and cited sections 22 (Information intended for future publication), 27 (International relations) and 43 (Commercial interests) of FOIA to refuse to disclose the more detailed breakdown specified in the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 27(1)(a) of FOIA to withhold the information. The Commissioner does not require further steps.Â
