Department for Exiting the European Union

The complainant has requested information on legal advice held by the Department for Exiting the European Union (‘DExEU’) relating to the ability to revoke the UK’s intention to withdraw from the European Union (‘EU’). The Commissioner’s decision is that DExEU has appropriately applied FOIA section 27(4)(a) (International relations) to refuse to confirm or deny holding information in the scope of the request. She considers that the public interest favours maintaining the exclusion. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take the any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
