21 November 2017, Central government
The complainant has requested a full copy of a report obtained by the former Department of Energy and Climate Change (which became part of the newly formed Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy in July 2016) from Evercore Partners International LLP on investment and financing considerations for new nuclear investment in Great Britain. The Department withheld the report in its entirety under regulations 12(5)(e)(confidentiality of commercial or industrial information) and 12(5)(f)(interests of the person who provided the information) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR). The Commissioner’s decision is that BEIS correctly withheld the report under regulation 12(5)(e) and that at the time of the request the public interest balance favoured maintaining the exception. She does not therefore require BEIS to take any steps as a result of this notice.
EIR 12(5)(e): Not upheld
