Historic Royal Palaces
22 September 2015, Education (Other)
The complainant submitted a request to the public authority for information in relation to two meetings held in 2014 between the authority’s Chief Executive and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. The public authority withheld some of the information in scope in reliance on the exemptions at sections 37(1)(aa), 40(2) and 41(1) of the FOIA, and the remainder in reliance on the exceptions at regulations 12(3), 12(4)(d), 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that: The information in scope (ie only “the disputed information”) constitutes environmental information within the meaning in regulation 2(1) of the EIR. However, the public authority was entitled to withhold the disputed information on the basis of the exception at regulation 12(5)(e). No steps are required. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
EIR 2(1): Not upheld EIR 12(5)(e): Not upheld
