Home Office
2 May 2017, Central government
The complainant has requested information about a meeting in November 2015 between Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, and the then Home Secretary, Theresa May. The Home Office refused to disclose the information, citing the exemption at section 35(1)(a) (formulation of government policy) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 35(1)(a) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 35: Not upheld
