Cabinet Office
24 August 2016, Central government
The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office for a copy of the letter proposing that Paul Scriven be made a life peer and the letter in which this proposal was accepted. The Cabinet Office refused to disclose the requested information on the basis of sections 37(1)(a) (communications with the Sovereign), 37(1)(b) (conferring of honours) and 40(2) (personal data) of FOIA. The Commissioner is satisfied that some of the information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 37(1)(a) or section 37(1)(b). However, the Commissioner has also concluded that the remainder of the withheld information is not exempt from disclosure on the basis of the exemptions cited by the Cabinet Office.
FOI 37: Partly upheld FOI 40: Not upheld
