The complainant requested information about the Joint Operating Board for the Funding for Lending Scheme. The Bank of England (BoE) explained that the information was not caught by FOIA because it was held for the purposes of its functions with respect to monetary policy. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information relates to monetary policy and the financial operations intended to support financial institutions for the purposes of maintaining stability and does not fall under FOIA. He does not therefore require the BoE to take any further steps as a result of this notice.
