Welsh Government

The complainant requested information in relation to the selling of essential and non-essential items for a specific date and time during the national firebreak period in Wales during October and November 2020. The Welsh Government responded by providing an explanation in relation to its decision to close non-essential shops, and provided a link to its most up to date list of goods which could be sold. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Welsh Government has breached section 1 and section 10 of the FOIA.
