- Decision(s) FOI 36: Not upheld
The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office seeking information about particular guidance concerning the treatment of abatement to deferred members of the Civil Service Pension Scheme. The Cabinet Office withheld the information on the basis of sections 36(2)(b)(i) and (c) (effective conduct of public affairs) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of sections 36(2)(b)(i) and (c) and the public interest favours maintaining both of the exemptions.
