Cabinet Office
The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office seeking information relating to the awarding of an honour to Vijay Patel, the CEO of Waymade Healthcare. The Cabinet Office confirmed that it held information falling within the scope of the request but it considered this to be exempt from disclosure on the basis of sections 37(1)(b) (honours) and 41(1) (information provided in confidence) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that all of the withheld information falls within the scope of section 37(1)(b) of FOIA. For the majority of this information the Commissioner has concluded that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. However, the Commissioner has concluded that for some of this information the public interest in disclosure outweighs the public interest in maintaining the exemption. This information therefore needs to be disclosed. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2020/0050 under appeal. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2020/0093 under appeal.
FOI 37:
Complaint partly upheld
