The complainant requested a report written and submitted to the Home Secretary by a former member of the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel about the operation of that Panel. The Home Office withheld this information under the exemptions provided by sections 36(2)(b)(ii) (inhibition to the free and frank provision of advice), 36(2)(c) (other prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) and 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office cited section 36(2)(b)(ii) correctly and so it was not obliged to disclose the requested information.
