Barry Gardiner MP – receipt for claim reference 60132999-1
Request
Please might you provide the receipt/invoice provided on claim reference 60132999-1.
Response
I can confirm that we hold information relevant to your request.
A copy of the receipt has been provided as an attachment to the email accompanying this letter.
Some information has been redacted and is subject to a refusal notice under section 31 in accordance with Section C of IPSA's Publication Policy.
Section 31(1)(a) – law enforcement
This exemption applies where the disclosure of information would or would be likely to prejudice the prevention of crime.
IPSA relies on this exemption to withhold the banking details of suppliers and other transactional references.
IPSA believes that the disclosure of these details could leave those concerned more vulnerable to financial crime, in particular fraud and electronic crime, especially with the increase in cyber-attacks.
This exemption is subject to a public interest test. IPSA does not consider that the withholding of this information has a negative impact on the understanding of these claims.
We therefore find that the public interest in withholding this information outweighs the public interest in disclosure at this time.
