Department for Work and Pensions

The complainant has requested unredacted versions of published Universal Credit Programme Board Papers from October 2020. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) relied on sections 31, law enforcement, 42, legal professional privilege, and 43, commercial interests, to redact the information. The complainant does not dispute the redactions made under section 31 and during the course of the investigation, DWP disclosed the information redacted on the basis of section 43. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 42(1) of FOIA is engaged with regards to the disputed information and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require DWP to take any steps.

FOI 42: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 211682
