FOI 440 Internal Review
Dear L. Lluva,
I am writing further to our letter of 12 April 2010 regarding the Internal Review of our response
to FOI 440 and to update you on what progress has been achieved to date.
Please note that in addition to having located, printed, indexed and collated the information
we hold relevant to your request we have now reviewed the information held, that is, minutes,
papers and summary reports relating to the Olympic Delivery Committee (ODC) meetings
which were produced in 2006. In reviewing this information we have considered whether any
of the information is exempt from disclosure, including applying the public interest test and
consulting third parties in instances where commercially sensitive information is included in
the material, often provided under confidentiality clauses.
Due to the volume of information held, to date we have been able to complete this exercise
for the documents relating to 2006 only. We will continue to review and consider the
information held pertaining to other years, which will follow in due course.
We have provided below 3 tables listing the following information:
1. Information held and provided:
A list of documents provided, including date of meeting, document reference number and
description, the nature of any information that has been redacted from each document
and the exemption which applies to these redactions. Further information regarding the
application of exemptions is provided subsequent to the tables.
2. Information withheld
A list of documents that are being withheld in full and the exemption which has been
applied.
3. Information not held
A list of documents that cannot be located in our document management system.

Application of Exemptions
Under Section 2 of the Freedom of Information Act, the duty of a public authority to give
access to information does not apply in respect of information which is exempt under the Act,
applying the public interest balance, where necessary, to the application of the exemption.
You will note that we have applied the following exemptions to the information requested:
Section 40
Section 40 of the Act exempts personal data about a third party from disclosure if the
disclosure would:
• breach any of the Data Protection Principles under the Data Protection Act; or
• cause (or would be likely to cause) substantial distress to the individual concerned.
The First Data Principle requires that disclosure of personal data under the Freedom of
Information Act must be fair. We consider the names of staff below the level of Director and
those of third parties to be exempt from disclosure on the basis that:
• the information is personal data;
• disclosure of the information would be unfair to the person concerned and therefore in
breach of the Data Protection Principles.
We therefore consider that this constitutes personal data exempt from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act. We have therefore redacted from the documents the names of
staff below the level of Director or equivalent and those of any third parties.
Section 42
Section 42 of the Act exempts information that is protected by legal professional privilege, that
is, information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege could be maintained
in legal proceedings.
Legal professional privilege covers communications between lawyers and their clients (in this
case the London Development Agency) for the dominant purposes of seeking or gaining legal
advice and of obtaining legal advice on litigation or for lawyers to use in preparing a case. We
have identified information which falls within this exemption, but Section 42 is a qualified
exemption and as such is subject to the public interest test. We believe that the public interest
in withholding this information outweighs the public interest in disclosing this information as
the LDA commonly encounters complex issues upon which it may need to seek specialist
legal advice. It is important that the LDA has access to full and frank legal advice and that any
such advice obtained will be protected by legal privilege. The LDA must have the freedom to
ask for advice in this manner and lawyers must be able to openly provide such advice with the
knowledge that it is safeguarded. This right to take and consider legal advice is important to
ensure the LDA can meet its legal obligations and duties and balance their complex
demands, which must be in the greater public interest.
We have therefore redacted information and in some cases withheld documents in their
entirety which are protected by legal professional privilege and are therefore exempt under
S42 of the Act.
Section 43(2)
Section 43(2) of the Act exempts information from disclosure if disclosure under the Act
would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of any person (including the
public authority holding it).
We consider that this exemption is relevant to some information incorporated within the
documents requested, as shown above. This information relates to:
• contracts extant and still subject to negotiation;
• details of payments in relation to settlements still subject to negotiation
• financial
accounts;
• details of estimated figures relating to the value of land and property.
• Breakdown of project costs
In general terms, if the redacted information were released to the public it would in our view
be likely to either:
• Weaken the commercial position of the LDA in situations involving negotiation of
contracts and the sale of property in a competitive market, by revealing details of the
negotiating and financial positions of the LDA, which could be of advantage to a third
party when negotiating both ongoing and future contracts or sales.
• Detrimentally impact on the commercial position of businesses covered by the
information because competitors would become privy to information, such as the
finances and working practices of the businesses, to which they otherwise would not
have access.
• Damage the Agency’s business reputation and the confidence that customers,
suppliers and contracting parties may have in submitting tender proposals to the
Agency.
The exemption of prejudice to commercial interest is a qualified exemption. This means that
we are required to consider whether, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in
maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. We
consider that the public interest in maintaining the exemption in respect of each piece of
redacted information outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information because:
• there is a strong likelihood that commercial prejudice will be suffered by the LDA or
third parties, as summarised above.
• disclosure of the information may prevent third parties from providing the LDA with
information relating to procurement opportunities in the future, thus undermining the
ability of the LDA to perform its functions
We are therefore unable to communicate the exempt information to you and as such it has
been redacted from the attached documents.
Please accept our apologies that we have been unable to provide the information in full to
date, but please be assured that we are doing everything possible to provide the requested
information as soon as is reasonably possible.
If you have any queries in the meantime please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours sincerely,
Public Liaison Unit
London Development Agency
