Department for Work and Pensions

The complainant has requested the emails received by a named inbox which relate to whistleblowing. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is relying on the exemption at section 36(2)(c) to withhold the information.

The Commissioner’s decision is that DWP is entitled to rely on section 36(2)(c) to withhold the requested information and that, in the specific circumstances of this case, the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption.
