The complainant has requested from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (“DCMS”) information regarding the proposed repeal of Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013. DCMS refused to provide it citing FOIA section 35 (formulation/development of government policy). It upheld this at internal review. The Commissioner’s decision is that DCMS was entitled to rely on section 35 as its basis for refusing to provide the requested information. No steps are required.FOI 35: Complaint not upheld
