Cabinet Office (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50481760 (23 April 2013)

Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to audits conducted into the Cabinet Office-™s handling of FOIA requests. The Cabinet Office refused to provide the information citing provisions of section 36 (Effective conduct of public affairs). It upheld this position at internal review. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Cabinet Office is entitled to rely on section 36 as a basis for withholding the requested information but it contravened the requirements of section 10(1) and section 17(1) by failing to advise the complainant of this within 20 working days. No steps are required. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
