The Commissioner’s decision is that the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has appropriately applied the exemption at section 35(1)(a) (formulation of government policy) of the FOIA. However, the public interest favours disclosure of some of the withheld information. The Commissioner requires the MoJ to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: provide the complainant with a copy of the information specified in the confidential annex to this decision notice, with personal information redacted in accordance with the Commissioner’s guidance on third party personal data.FOI 35: Complaint upheld
