The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Financial Services Authority (the public authority) to request copies of three reports it had produced in relation to Split Capital Investment Trusts. The public authority refused the request by relying on the exemptions; section 21 (Information accessible by other means); section 40 (Personal information), section 43 (Commercial interests) and section 44 (Prohibitions on disclosure). The Commissioner has considered the complaint and has found that all of the requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 44 of the Act by virtue of the statutory prohibition in section 348 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
