Dear Mr Irving

Thank you for your email of 7 June 2010 in which you requested a summary
of amounts paid out by DECC per annum, per supplier.

We do hold information falling within the terms of your request, however
we need more time to consider your request.

I wish to advise you that the following exemptions apply to the
information you have requested:

Section 43 Commercial Interests

By virtue of section 10 (3), where public authorities have to consider the
balance of the public interest in relation to a request, they do not have
to comply with the request until such time as is reasonable in the
circumstances.

Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has not yet reached a
decision on the balance of the public interest. Due to the need to
consider, in all the circumstances of the case, where the balance of the
public interest lies in relation to the information that you have
requested, DECC will not be able to respond to your request in full within
20 working days.

I hope to let you have a response by 2 August 2010.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
