Ministry of Justice (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50363874 (18 October 2011)
Summary: The complainant made a request for background notes to 45 Parliamentary Questions about the Tasker Report.

The Commissioner requires the MoJ to disclose some of the information withheld under sections 36 and 40. He also found procedural breaches of the Act. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0267 dismissed.
