The complainant has requested DfE to disclose a list of the local
authorities (LAs) which have had to submit Actions Plans for schools in
deficit and for a copy of those Actions Plans. DfE disclosed an up to date
list but refused to disclose the Actions Plans citing sections 36(2)(b)(i),
(ii) and 36(2)(c) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that DfE is entitled to rely on sections 36(2)(b)(i), (ii) and 36(2)(c) of FOIA. He does not require any further action to be taken.
