- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information as to individuals who have forfeited their honours since 2015. The Cabinet Office applied section 21(1)(b)(information accessible to the applicant by other means) to the majority of the requested information. The remaining information was withheld by the Cabinet Office under section 37(1)(b)(information relating to the conferring by the Crown of any honour or dignity) and section 40(2)(third party personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office has correctly applied section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold the relevant information. No steps are required.
