HM Treasury

The complainant has requested distributional and equality analyses associated with the Spring Statement 2022. HM Treasury (HMT) withheld the information citing section 35(1)(a). During the Commissioner’s investigation, HMT confirmed that due to the passage of time, it was content to disclose some of the requested information. Following this, the complainant disputed that HMT had identified all of the information falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, HMT has identified all of the information falling within the scope of the request. He also finds that HMT is entitled to rely on section 35(1)(a) to withhold the remaining information. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
