- Decision(s) FOI 36(2)(c): Not upheld
The complainant has requested copies of staff satisfaction surveys conducted in the Brexit Opportunities Unit. The Cabinet Office originally refused the request under section 40(2) of FOIA (personal data). In its internal review, the Cabinet Office amended its position, relying on section 36(2)(c) of FOIA (prejudice to the conduct of public affairs) to withhold the information in its entirety. The Commissioner has found that section 36(2)(c) applies to the withheld information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
