Cabinet Office

The complainant has requested transaction information that has taken place under the Spend Analysis and Recovery Framework from the Cabinet Office. The Cabinet Office argued that this information was exempt from disclosure under section 43 and upheld this position at internal review. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office is not entitled to rely on section 43 as its basis for withholding this information for the reasons set out in this notice. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose all the information it holds within the scope of the complainant’s request. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2016/0169 withdrawn.
