Rob Terry of Quindell (QPP) did a soft interview with BRR on 8 March 2014. You know the sort where the company pays to be asked easy questions. When asked about a full listing (which failed today see HERE) and how long it would take Terry said:

The explanation in today’s FT (page 20) is a bit less sensationalist.

Freedom of Information: Right to know request
Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’), for
information (in summary) relating to Roble S.L.
I confirm that we hold information that falls within the scope of your request. However, we are
not able to give it to you because this is confidential information which was received by us for
the purposes of carrying out our regulatory work under the Financial Services and Markets Act
2000. This means that this information is exempt from disclosure under section 44
(Prohibitions on Disclosure) of the Act. For a more detailed explanation as to why this
exemption applies please refer to the annex, below.
I realise that you may be disappointed with this decision but I hope you understand why we
are not able to give it to you.
Yours sincerely
Information Access Team

Annex A
Section 44 (Prohibitions on disclosure)
Section 44(1)(a) of the Act provides that information is absolutely exempt if its
disclosure (otherwise than under the Act) is prohibited by or under any enactment.
Section 348 of FSMA restricts the FCA from disclosing “confidential information” it has
received except in certain limited circumstances (none of which apply here).
Confidential information for these purposes is defined as non-public and non-anonymised
information which relates to the business or other affairs of any person and which was
obtained by the FCA for the purposes of, or in the discharge of, any of its functions under
FSMA and which is not in the public domain. Disclosure of any such confidential
information is in breach of section 348 of FSMA and is a criminal offence.
In this case, the information received by the FCA was received for the purpose of
carrying out our regulatory functions and so falls within Section 348. Consequently the
FCA is prohibited from disclosing it to you.
Section 44 is an “absolute” exemption, and so it is not necessary to balance the public
interests for and against disclosing the information.
