The complainant has requested DHSC to disclose the minutes of meetings of the Cross Whitehall International Recruitment Steering Group from 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. DHSC disclosed some information but withheld the remainder citing section 35, 27 and 28 of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that DHSC is entitled to rely on sections 35, 27 and 28 of FOIA. He therefore does not require any further action to be taken.
