The complainant has requested the names and appointing ministers of special advisers in post at the time of the request. The Commissioner's decision is that section 22(1) is not engaged and while section 36(2)(c) is engaged, the balance of the public interest favours disclosure. The Commissioner requires the Cabinet Office to disclose the requested information. The public authority must take these steps within 30 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.
