Cabinet Office (Decision Notice) [2014] UKICO FS50510754 (15 January 2014)

Summary: The complainant requested information concerning the awarding of honours to the former MP Cyril Smith. The only information held by the Cabinet Office within the scope of this request was a nomination form for a knighthood. This was disclosed, but with the name of the individual who nominated Cyril Smith for a knighthood withheld under the exemption provided by section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the exemption provided by section 40(2) is not engaged and so the withheld content must now be disclosed. The Commissioner requires the Cabinet Office to disclose a full copy of the nomination form, without redactions.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Upheld
