The Cabinet Office have extended their reply time period by a month to 6 April. “It is occasional y [sic] necessary to extend the 20 working day time limit for issuing a response. Information you have requested is exempt under section 43 of the Act, which relates to information where disclosure would be likely to prejudice the commercial interests of any person. Section 43 is subject to a public interest test and the Cabinet Office has not yet reached a decision on whether the balance of the public interest favours disclosure of this information. By virtue of section 10(3), when 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.”
