SIC Register of companies in distress – On 2 September 2013, Mr Laing asked Scottish Enterprise for information relating to any register listing companies known to be in financial distress or other difficulty. Scottish Enterprise provided information, stating that other information either was not held or was being withheld on the basis that various exemptions of FOISA applied.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner accepted Scottish Enterprise’s submission that it did not hold some of the information Mr Laing had asked for. She also accepted that the majority of the information it did hold had been correctly withheld on the basis of the harm disclosure would cause to the effective conduct of public affairs.
