The complainant requested a list of all current team email addresses and the associated team title and physical location of the team to which each email address belongs. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is entitled to refuse to comply with the request under section 12 of the FOIA. She also finds that DWP failed to provide sufficient advice and assistance as required by section 16 of the FOIA. However she does not require any remedial steps to be taken. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
