Cabinet Office

The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office seeking details of when Rishi Sunak has used a private jet or helicopter to attend events in Great Britain since he became Prime Minister. The Cabinet Office confirmed that it held information falling within the scope of this request but refused to provide it on the basis of sections 24(1) (national security) and 38(1) (health and safety) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 24(1) and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.
