Cabinet Office
The complainant has requested information concerning Waheed Saleem and the honours system. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office has appropriately applied section 21(1), information accessible by other means, section 40(2), personal information and section 37(1)(b), the conferring by the crown of any honour or dignity, with the public interest favouring maintaining the exemption. The Cabinet Office failed to issue its refusal notice to the complainant within the necessary timescale and has therefore breached sections 10(1) and 17(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 21: Complaint not upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 37: Complaint not upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld
