Department for Constitutional Affairs

The complaint requested a copy of a letter from the European Commission to the UK government regarding alleged deficiencies in the implementation of Directive 95/46/EC by the UK. He also requested a copy of the UK government’s response to that letter. Although the complainant put forward compelling arguments in favour of disclosure of the requested information, the Commissioner took the view that the DCA was correct not to communicate the requested information to the complainant. In the light of that conclusion, the notice requires no further action.
