Cabinet Office
The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office seeking information about the decision to award Kevin Spacey any honours. The Cabinet Office confirmed it held information falling within the scope of the request but it withheld this on the basis of section 37(1)(b) (the conferring by the Crown of any honour or dignity) and section 40(2) (personal data) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 37(1)(b) of FOIA and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.FOI 37: Complaint not upheld
