Stott v Information Commissioner: FTTGRC 16 Jul 2014

FTTGC Dismissed – Formulation or development of government policy s.35(1)(a) – We have decided to dismiss the appeal because the records of meetings of a Task and Finish Group established by the Welsh Assembly Government in 2012 in respect of certain proposed legislation was exempt information under section 35(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘FOIA’) and the public interest in maintaining that exemption, at the date of the request for information, outweighed the public interest in its disclosure.
