Summary: The complainant requested Cabinet meeting minutes dating from 1984 and 1985 relating to the miners-™ strike. The Cabinet Office refused to disclose this information and cited the exemption from the FOIA provided by section 35(1)(b) (information relating to Ministerial communications). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Cabinet Office has applied this exemption correctly and so it is not required to disclose this information.
