Cabinet Office
The complainant requested information on any advice provided to the Prime Minister on the use of public money to fund the “Getting ready for Brexit” media campaign following the passing of the Benn Act [the European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 2) Act 2019]. This Act required the UK Prime Minister to seek an extension to the Brexit withdrawal date, then scheduled for 31 October 2019, in certain circumstances. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office, on the balance of probabilities, does not hold any information within the scope of the request. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
