Department for Work and Pensions

The complainant has requested benefits datasets from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The Commissioner’s decision is that DWP is entitled to rely on section 44(1)(a) to withhold the majority of the information. The Commissioner considers, however, that section 44(1)(a) is not engaged in relation to the category titles within the datasets. The Commissioner requires DWP to disclose the category titles within the datasets. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

FOI 44: Complaint partly upheld

Decision notice: 244085
