Cabinet Office
7 March 2016, Central government
The complainant requested information from the Cabinet Office relating to meetings between government ministers or their staff and representatives of the Duchy of Cornwall, including the Duke himself – His Royal Highness Prince Charles. The Cabinet Office refused the request under section 12(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act). The Commissioner’s decision is that Cabinet Office has not sufficiently justified its use of section 12(2) of the Act. The Commissioner requires the public authority to issue a substantive response to the complainant which does not refuse the request under section 12(2) of the Act.
