Cabinet Office

The complainant has requested information in certain PREM files and a CAB file which has not been transferred to the National Archive. The Cabinet Office refused to provide this and cited sections 23 (security services), 37 (correspondence with the Sovereign), 40 (unfair disclosure of personal data) and 41 (information provided in confidence). It upheld this at internal review although during the Commissioner’s investigation, it withdrew reliance on section 41. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office is entitled to rely on sections 23, 37(1)(a) and 40(2) as a basis for withholding the requested information. No steps are required.
