- Decision(s) FOI 35: Upheld
The complainant has requested a presentation related to the Serious Violence Strategy from the Home Office (HO). The HO provided some information but refused to provide the remainder citing section 35(1)(a) (formulation of government policy) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 35(1)(a) is engaged but that the public interest favours disclosure of the requested information. She requires the HO to disclose the information requested at part (1) of the request. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2019/0319 allowed in part.
