Cabinet Office (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50466327 (12 February 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested a copy of minutes from Cabinet meetings and Cabinet sub-committee meetings which relate to riots which took place in the Handsworth district of Birmingham in September 1985. He specified meetings held between 3 September 1985 and 30 September 1985. The Cabinet Office argued that it was not obliged to confirm or deny whether it holds such minutes based on the exclusion at section 35(3) (Formulation/Development of government policy). It upheld this position at internal review. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Cabinet Office is entitled to rely on the exclusion at section 35(3). No steps are required.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 35 - Complaint Not upheld
