Cabinet Office

The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office seeking minutes, agendas and briefing materials for the Build Back Better Business Council meetings. The Cabinet Office confirmed that it held information falling within the scope of the request but considered this to be exempt from disclosure on the basis of sections 35(1)(a) (formulation or development of government policy), 35(1)(d) (operation of a Ministerial Office) and 41(1) (information provided in confidence) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 35(1)(a) and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours withholding the information.

FOI 35(1)(a): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 139826
