Cabinet Office
The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office seeking correspondence between the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair, and HRH The Prince of Wales concerning hunting during the period January 2003 to January 2004. Under FOIA the Cabinet Office refused to confirm or deny whether it held any such information on the basis of section 37(2) of FOIA, by virtue of section 37(1)(aa) (communications with the heir to the Throne). Under the EIR, the Cabinet Office explained that it did not hold any environmental information. The complainant challenged the Cabinet Office’s position that it did not hold any environmental information falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner has concluded that on the balance of probabilities the Cabinet Office does not hold any environmental information falling within the scope of the request.EIR 12(4)(a): Complaint not upheld
