Cabinet Office

The complainant has requested from the Cabinet Office information related to the Inquiry into the Post Office Horizon scandal. The Cabinet Office provided some information related to a senior officer but withheld the remainder under the exemptions at sections 36 (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) and 40 (personal information) of FOIA.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office was entitled to withhold the information under the cited sections.
The Commissioner does not require further steps.
