Ministry of Justice
13 September 2017, Central government
The complainant requested information held by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) relating to the decision to give Justices of the Supreme Court the courtesy title of Lord/Lady. The MoJ confirmed it held some relevant information but withheld it on the basis of section 37(1) of the FOIA (Communications with Her Majesty, etc. and honours). The Commissioner’s decision is that the section 37(1)(a) exemption (communications with the Sovereign) is engaged in respect of the withheld information. She requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
FOI 37: Not upheld
