The complainant has requested the disclosure of the date the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) received a nursery’s application recording a change in its registration. Ofsted considered this information was exempt information under the ‘commercial interests’ (section 43(2)) exemption in FOIA and found that on balance the public interest favoured maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 43(2) of FOIA is not engaged and therefore the requested information should be provided.
