- Decision(s) FOI 35: Not upheld
The complainant requested Cabinet meeting minutes dating from 1984 and 1985 relating to the miners’ strike. The Cabinet Office refused to disclose this information and cited the exemption from the FOIA provided by section 35(1)(b) (information relating to Ministerial communications). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office has applied this exemption correctly and so it is not required to disclose this information.
