House of Commons

The complainant has requested information about the Culture, Media and Sport Committee’s decision to write to broadcasters and social media platforms in the wake of allegations about Russell Brand. The House of Commons (HoC) would neither confirm nor deny that it held information falling within scope of the request, citing section 34(2) (Parliamentary privilege) of FOIA. It issued a certificate under section 34(3) confirming that the exemption applied. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 34(2) of FOIA was correctly applied.

FOI 34: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 269654
