HM Treasury

The complainant requested information relating to how the Treasury anticipated financial markets would react to September 2022's mini-Budget tax cuts. HM Treasury refused to provide the requested information, citing sections 35(1) (formulation of government policy), 29(1) (the economy) and 40(2) (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that HM Treasury is entitled to rely on section 35(1)(a) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
