Scotland Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50267857 (21 March 2011)
Summary: The complainant made a request to the Scotland Office for information held by it regarding the creation of a British football team to compete in the 2012 Olympic Games. Whilst the public authority released most of the information, it withheld the small remainder by relying on the exemptions under sections 35(1)(d) and 36(2)(c) of the Act. The Commissioner-™s decision is that both exemptions are engaged and the public interest (in both instances) favours the maintenance of the exemption. The Commissioner did however identify a number of procedural breaches.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 35 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
