Council for the Curriculum Examinations and Assessment

The complainant has requested information from the Council for the Curriculum Examinations & Assessment (“CCEA”) regarding certain GCE Mathematics examination papers. CCEA provided the complainant with some information it held relevant to his request and withheld the remaining information (“the withheld information”) which was withheld citing section 43(1) of FOIA as a basis for non-disclosure and section 43(2) in the alternative. The Commissioner’s decision is that CCEA has provided the complainant with all information it holds within the scope of his request other than the withheld information, to which section 43(1) does not apply, but section 43(2) does apply. Therefore, the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2014/0078 settled by consent.
