  • Decision(s) FOI 36: Not upheld

The complainant has requested minutes produced from Arts Council England’s (“ACE”) Race and Disability Advisory Group meetings. ACE refused to disclose this information, citing section 36 of the FOIA - prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs. The Commissioner’s decision is that ACE correctly cited section 36(2) of the FOIA to the requested information and was entitled to withhold it. The Commissioner does not require ACE to take any further steps.
