Cabinet Office

The complainant requested copies of public messages added to Ukgovernmentdigital.slack.com during a specified four hour period. The Cabinet Office initially refused the request under section 14(1) of the FOIA, then claimed that it did not hold the requested information. The complainant then revised his request, but the Cabinet Office did not respond to the revised request.

The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office ought to have responded to the revised request submitted by the complainant.
