Greater London Authority

The complainant requested information relating to the decision by the public authority to exclude the media and the public from a London Assembly meeting on knife crime in London and from the Mayor of London’s summit on the same issue. The public authority disclosed some of the requested information and withheld a number of emails relying on the exemption at section 42(1) FOIA. The Commissioner concluded that the public authority was entitled to rely on the exemption at section 42(1) FOIA. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2019/0073 dismissed.
