Cabinet Office

The complainant has requested information about the awarding of a peerage to Evgeny Lebedev. The Cabinet Office refused the request, citing section 37(1)(b) (The conferring by the Crown of any honour or dignity) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 37(1)(b) of FOIA was applied correctly to withhold the requested information. However, the Commissioner found that the Cabinet Office did not complete its deliberations on the balance of the public interest within a reasonable time, which was a breach of section 17(3) of FOIA.

FOI 37: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 179612
