The complainant requested information relating to Cabinet meetings and a Cabinet committee on devolution in 1997. The Cabinet Office refused the request in reliance on the exemptions at section 35(1)(a) and section 35(1)(b) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the exemptions are engaged in respect of the requested information. However the Commissioner is not satisfied that the public interest in maintaining the exemptions cited outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. Therefore the Commissioner requires the Cabinet Office to disclose the information to the complainant.
