Department for Transport

The complainant has requested the Department for Transport (DfT) to disclose copies of the Business Cases for the electrification of the Bolton to Wigan railway line and the re-opening of the Exeter to Okehampton railway line. The DfT disclosed some information but withheld the remainder under regulation 12(5)(d) and 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfT is entitled to refuse to disclose the remaining withheld information under regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR. It however breached regulation 5 by failing to respond to the request within 20 working days of receipt. The Commissioner does not require any further action to be taken.

EIR 5: Complaint upheld EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint not upheld
