Cabinet Office

The complainant has requested information relating to certificates issued under section 275 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The Cabinet Office initially relied on sections 23(5) (security bodies) and 24(2) (national security) of FOIA to neither confirm nor deny that it held the information. At internal review, it amended its position to rely on section 12(2) (cost limit) of FOIA to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office was entitled to refuse to comply with the request in accordance with section 12(2).The Commissioner also finds that the Cabinet Office has complied with its obligations under section 16 of FOIA to offer advice and assistance. The Commissioner does not require further steps.

FOI 12(2): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 252699
