Cabinet Office (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50442885 (17 September 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information from the Cabinet Office about the decision of the Honours Forfeiture Committee to recommend that Fred Goodwin-™s knighthood was cancelled and annulled. The Cabinet Office cited numerous exemptions within FOIA to refuse to disclose the information that it held, including section 37(1)(a) (communications with the Sovereign) and section 37(1)(b) (conferring of an honour or dignity). The Commissioner has concluded that the requested information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of these two exemptions.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 37 - Complaint Not upheld
