- Decision(s) FOI 36: Not upheld
The complainant requested a copy of the agenda, minutes and supporting papers for the HM Treasury Panel meeting dated 13 June 2012 on the Nuclear Weapons Capability Sustainment Programme. HM Treasury provided some information but withheld the remainder under sections 26(1)(a) and 26(1)(b), 27(1)(a), 35(1)(a) and 43(2). HM Treasury subsequently also relied on section 36(2)(b)(ii) and (c). The Commissioner’s decision is that HM Treasury has correctly applied section 36(2)(b)(ii) to the information that it has withheld. He therefore does not require it to take any further steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
