Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 19 December 2025UIN 100329

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Information Commissioner decision notice of 29 October 2025, ref IC-362303-N0J6, if he will publish his Department's submission to the ICO, with personal information redacted.

Answered by Chris Ward

The Information Commissioner’s Office summarises the position of a public authority and the requester within its published decision notice.

As has been the case under successive administrations, the Cabinet Office does not publish the submissions it makes to the Commissioner during the course of his investigations.
