The complainant has requested DfT to disclose information relating the Prime Minister’s announcement on 20 September 2023 to, amongst other things, delay the ban on sales of petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to 2035 (the “ZEV decision”). DfT refused to disclose the requested information citing regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that DfT is entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
