HM Treasury
The complainant has requested information on the underlying calculations to determine the cost, reported as £1 trillion, to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The Commissioner’s decision is that HM Treasury (“HMT”) has appropriately applied the exception at regulation 12(4)(e) as the request involves the disclosure of internal communications. However, the Commissioner finds that the public interest favours disclosure of the information in the scope of the request. The Commissioner also finds a breach of regulation 11(4) as HMT did not provide an internal review within 40 working days. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the specific email containing the requested information ensure compliance with the legislation.
