Cabinet Office (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50414540 (21 May 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information concerning allegations of misconduct by special advisers and any investigation of these. The Cabinet Office refused to disclose this information, citing the exemptions provided by the following sections of the FOIA: 36(2)(b)(i) (inhibition to the free and frank provision of advice), 36(2)(b)(ii) (inhibition to the free and frank exchange of views) and 36(2)(c) (other prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Cabinet Office applied these exemptions correctly and so it is not required to disclose this information.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
