  • Decision(s) FOI 36: Upheld, FOI 40: Not upheld

The complainant requested copies of an FOI Round Robin List maintained by the public authority and circulated to Whitehall departments. The public authority withheld the list relying on the exemptions at section 36(2)(b) FOIA. The Commissioner concluded that the public authority was not entitled to rely on section 36(2)(b). However, some of the information on the list is exempt on the basis of section 40(2) FOIA. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2020/0240 appeal allowed in part.
