ICO The complainant made a request to the Department of Health (DoH) for a copy of any legal advice on EU competition law given to the Secretary of State or other Ministers in relation to a specific aspect of the Health and Social Care Bill. The DoH withheld this information under section 42 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Commissioner finds that the public interest balance under section 42 falls in favour of disclosure and the information should be disclosed. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0239 allowed.
