Decision Summary

  • Case Ref: FS50077868
  • Date: 4 May 2006
  • Public Authority: National Assembly for Wales
  • Summary: The complainant requested information relating to the Welsh Assembly Government's primary schools free breakfasts initiative. The public authority refused the request, citing sections 42 (legal professional privilege) and 35 (formulation of government policy) of the Act. After viewing the information, the Commissioner accepted that the exemptions were engaged and then considered the public interest arguments out forward by both the complainant and the public authority. Following this the Commissioner has decided that the public interest in maintaining the exemption at section 42 of the Act outweighs the public interest in disclosure in this case. Accordingly, the Commissioner has judged that the public authority dealt with the request in accordance with the requirements of the Act. The Infomation Tribunal has ruled on this decision and has dismissed this appeal.
