Cabinet Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50300151 (05 January 2011)
Summary: The complainant made a request for any information which would support the Prime Minister-™s response to an e-petition regarding childcare vouchers. The complainant addressed his request to the Prime Minister-™s Office which forms part of the Cabinet Office. The Cabinet Office responded on the twentieth working day stating that the information was the responsibility of the Treasury. In his request for an internal review the complainant criticised the time taken for the first response, specifically he asserted that the response had breached the provisions of section 10 of the Act insofar as the response had not been made promptly. The Commissioner has concluded that the Cabinet Office responded within the time for compliance. However, he finds that the response was in breach of section 1(1)(a) in not stating specifically whether the information was held and section 10(1) by not stating whether the information was held within the statutory time limit. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0018 has been disposed of by way of a consent order.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Partly Upheld
