Summary: The complainant submitted a request to HM Treasury (the Treasury) for information relating to the Chancellor-™s attendance at the -˜Bilderberg-™ conference in 2011.

The Commissioner has concluded that this information does in fact fall within the scope of the request albeit that it can be withheld from disclosure on the basis of either section 27 or section 29 of FOIA.
