Dear Alex,

FOI/2021/0079

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request received 19th October.

Your request:
Please could you send:
- all correspondence between the Museum and the Adani Group
- the contract for the Adani Green Energy Gallery

Please find attached the correspondence, contract, and due diligence report regarding the Adani Group.

Some information has been withheld under s.40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (personal data), s.43(2) (information which would be likely to prejudice the commercial interests of any party) and s.36(2)(c) (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs). In respect of s.43(2) and s.36(2)(c) we have considered the public interest test and, on this occasion, have concluded that the balance of public interest falls in favour of withholding the information.
