The complainant requested information relating to an error made in the calculations for a new model for police funding. The Home Office refused to disclose this information and cited the exemption provided by section 35(1)(a) (formulation or development of government policy) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office cited section 35(1)(a) correctly so it was not obliged to disclose the requested information.
FOI 35: Not upheld
