Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister
3 March 2015, Central government
The complainant has requested details of the salaries paid to special advisers working in the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM). OFMDFM refused the request under section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that OFMDFM was entitled to withhold some of the requested information under section 40(2) but that some information ought to be disclosed. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the current salary, as at the date of the request, paid to each special adviser working in OFMDFM and the point on the salary scale that each person was on when they were appointed to their role.
FOI 40: Partly upheld
