Department for Work and Pensions
2 March 2015, Central government
The complainant requested the name of a Community Centre whose statement in support of the Government’s Mandatory Work Placement Scheme was quoted by the public authority in its guide for other organisations considering whether to join the scheme. The public authority withheld the name of the centre in reliance on the exemptions at sections 29(1)(a), 29(1)(b), 36(2)(c), 38(1) and 43(2) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority was not entitled to withhold the name of the Community Centre on the basis of the exemptions at sections 29(1)(a), 29(1)(b), 36(2)(c), 38(1) and 43(2). He also finds the public authority in breach of section 17(1) FOIA. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
