Cabinet Office

The complainant has requested briefing materials prepared in response to an Urgent Question in Parliament. The Cabinet Office (“CO”) refused to provide it citing section 36 (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) as its basis for doing so. It upheld this position at internal review. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office is entitled to rely on section 36 as its basis for refusing the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
