  • Decision(s) FOI 43: Not upheld

The complainant has requested to know the amount that was paid to a hotel which was due to house asylum seekers, prior to those plans being dropped. The Home Office refused the request, citing section 43 (Commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to cite section 43(2) to refuse the request.
