Cabinet Office (Decision Notice) [2009] UKICO FS50088735 (22 December 2009)
Summary: The complainant requested information relating to Cabinet discussion of the Westland helicopter company in January 1986. The Cabinet Office confirmed that it held this information, but argued that it was exempt under section 35(1)(b) of the Act (formulation of government policy and ministerial communications). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the requested information is exempt under section 35(1)(b) but that the balance of the public interest lies in favour of disclosure of some of the information. The Commissioner therefore requires the Cabinet Office to disclose some of the requested information to the complainant. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2010/0031 has been dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 35 - Complaint Partly Upheld
