The complainant has requested copies of the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation minutes. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (the MHCLG) refused the request under section 35(1)(a) of the FOIA – formulation/ development of government policy. During the Commissioner’s initial investigations, the MHCLG amended its position and provided some information but maintained the exemption to the remaining information. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 35(1)(a) of the FOIA is engaged to the withheld information. The Commissioner does not require the MHCLG to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2020/0202 under appeal.
