Department for Education
20 November 2017, Central government
The complainant has requested agendas and minutes from Department for Education (DfE) Board papers for a certain time period. The DfE disclosed some information from the agendas and minutes but refused the majority on the basis of section 36(2)(b)(i), (ii), (2)c) and 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE has correctly withheld information from the minutes under section 36(2)(b) and the names of junior officials from the agendas under section 40(2). However, she finds that the information in the agendas that has been withheld does engaged section 36(2)(c) but the public interest favours disclosure. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information in the agendas that has been incorrectly withheld under section 36(2)(c).
FOI 36: Partly upheld FOI 40: Not upheld
