Detected exemption language
On the list of the names of all businesses that were part of the “01 Crop and animal production, hunting and related services” SIC Division, while our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide the information you have requested because an exemption under section 26(a) of FOISA (disclosure prohibited by an enactment) applies to that information. The reason why that exemption applies is explained below. Reasons for not providing information An exemption applies An exemption under section 26(a) of FOISA (disclosure prohibited by an enactment) applies to all of the information requested because Section 9 of the Statistics of Trade Act 1947 prohibits the disclosure of this information. This exemption is not subject to the ‘public interest test’, so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption.
