Department for Communities and Local Government
30 September 2014, Central government
The complainant has requested information about meetings held and planned by the Ministerial Group on Gypsies and Travellers. The Department for Communities and Local Government refused the request, citing the exemptions for information relating to the formulation or development of Government policy and information relating to ministerial communications (sections 35(1)(a) and 35(1)(b) of the FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information engages the exemptions in section 35(1)(a) and section 35(1)(b) of the FOIA but that the public interest favours disclosing the information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the requested information to the complainant.
FOI 35: Upheld
