- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant requested various information in respect of a return flight the then Prime Minister took from London Stanstead airport to Valley Anglesey on a specified date. The Cabinet Office provided some information, but refused to provide details of the cost of hiring the plane, citing section 22 (information intended for future publication) FOIA. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Cabinet Office disclosed the withheld information. The Commissioner has recorded a breach of section 10(1) (time for compliance) FOIA as a result of the Cabinet Office failure to provide the information within the statutory timescales specified under the FOIA.
