Cabinet Office

The complainant made a request to the Cabinet Office to see a single entry in the then Prime Minister’s (Boris Johnson’s) diary on a particular date. The Cabinet Office stated that the information was already publicly accessible and as such it was exempt from disclosure under section 21 of FOIA (information reasonably accessible to the applicant). The Commissioner considers that the Cabinet Office incorrectly applied section 21 of FOIA in this case. However, the Commissioner has not ordered disclosure on the basis that the exact wording of the diary entry is reproduced in this decision notice. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.

FOI 21: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 161408
