Cabinet Office (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50220736 (24 May 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested a full list of visitors to Chequers since July 2007. Whilst a list of official visitors is published annually, the Cabinet Office (CO) maintained that they do not hold a list of those Mr Brown and his family entertained in a private and personal capacity at Chequers. They further maintained that any information that they do hold regarding the Brown family-™s personal visitors to Chequers is held by the Prime Minister-™s Office on behalf of the Prime Minister in his personal capacity and consequently not held for the purposes of Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) by virtue of section 3(2)(a). The Commissioner has found that the information is in fact not held by the public authority and therefore has not considered the application of section 3(2)(a).
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld
