Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what proportion of freedom of information requests sent to the Government Mystery Shopper service has been withheld on the grounds that the information requested is commercially sensitive in each year since that service was established.
This question was answered on 7th September 2017
The exemption under section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) enquiry allows a public authority to withhold information on the grounds that it would or would be likely to prejudice commercial interests.
The Crown Commercial Service has not invoked this exemption for any FOIA relating to the Mystery Shopper Service.
