Cabinet Office (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50432371 (08 October 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested a copy of a report prepared and sent to the Prime Minister by the Minister for Decentralisation and Cities. The report assessed the progress towards decentralisation in different government departments. The Cabinet Office withheld the report on the basis of section 35(1)(a) (formulation and development of government policy) and section 35(1)(b) (Ministerial communications) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the report is exempt from disclosure under section 35(1)(b) and that in the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 35 - Complaint Not upheld
