ICO The complainant made a request to the Department of Health (DoH) for a copy of the legal advice given to the previous government in 2006 on the application of EU competition law during the process of establishing the Cooperation and Competition Panel. The DoH withheld this information under section 42 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the DoH has correctly applied section 42 FOIA to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
