Competition and Markets Authority

The complainant has requested the Competition and Markets Authority (the CMA) to disclose a list of the specific medications that were included in a statistic it published. The CMA refused to disclose the information citing sections 44(1)(a) and 31(1)(g) by virtue of section 31(2)(c). The Commissioner’s decision is that the CMA is entitled to rely on section 44(1)(a) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.
