Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Decision Notice) [2014] UKICO FER0522797 (13 March 2014)

Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to a pilot badger cull. Defra provided the complainant with some of the requested information but redacted some information under regulation 12(5)(a) and 12(5)(g) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR). The Commissioner-™s decision is that Defra correctly applied regulation 12(5)(a) EIR to redact the names of the companies involved in the pilot badger cull however it was incorrect to apply regulation 12(5)(a) and 12(5)(g) EIR to make the other redactions. The Commissioner requires the public authority to now disclose the redacted information apart from the names of the companies involved in the badger cull.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12.5.a - Complaint Partly Upheld, EIR 12.5.g - Complaint Upheld
