Cabinet Office

The complainant has requested any emails to the Cabinet Secretary about Covid testing of Ministers or significant civil servants over a stated time period. . The Cabinet Office disclosed some information but withheld other information in scope of the request on the basis of section 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office has appropriately relied on the section 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) exemptions and the public interest favours maintaining the exemptions.
