The complainant submitted two requests to the Cabinet Office seeking organograms for its staff. The first request sought organograms for staff at September 2018 and the second request sought organograms for staff at March 2019. The Cabinet Office provided information for senior staff at September 2018. However, it refused to provide the data for junior staff at September 2018, and the data for both junior and senior staff at March 2019 as it considered this to be exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 22(1) (information intended for future publication) of FOIA. The Commissioner is satisfied that Cabinet Office is entitled to rely on section 22(1) of FOIA to refuse to disclose this information and that in the circumstances of each request the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.
