SAP Scientific Integrity Group: Disclosure of Information

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to his Answer of 12 June 2019 to Question 259850 on Waste Heat Recovery, if he will publish the standard assessment procedure scientific integrity group findings with personal details and the names of the manufacturers redacted.

Answer

The analysis of the Standard Assessment Procedure Scientific Integrity Group contains information which is of a commercially sensitive nature for the companies involved. Redacting company names would not obviate the risk that disclosure presents to their commercial interests. The Department took this into account in its decision not to publish the analysis more widely.
