Cabinet Office

The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office seeking a copy of the congratulatory statement which would have been published if President Trump had been re-elected in November 2020. The Cabinet Office confirmed that it held the requested information but sought to withhold it on the basis of sections 27(1)(a) (international relations) and 35(1)(d) (operation of any Ministerial private office) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 27(1)(a) of FOIA and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.

FOI 27: Complaint not upheld
