The complainant has requested information from the Cabinet Office (CO) about documents declassified for the purposes of publication by the Iraq Inquiry. The CO refused to disclose the requested information relying on FOIA section 22 – information intended for future publication. The Commissioner’s decision is that CO was entitled to rely on section 22 to refuse the request. The Commissioner does not require the Cabinet Office to take any further steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
