The Ministers provided some information, but withheld other information on the basis that disclosure would, or would be likely to, inhibit substantially the free and frank provision of advice or exchange of views (section 30(b) of FOISA).
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the Ministers had been entitled to withhold most of the information, but that some information should be disclosed.
