Summary: The complainant asked the House of Commons to provide him with details of the amounts spent by seven MPs on circulars and reports to their constituents for the financial years 2006/07 and 2007/08. The House of Commons refused to disclose the information citing section 22 (information intended for future publication) and argued that the public interest favoured maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner has investigated the circumstances of this case and concluded that at the time of the request the House of Commons applied section 22 correctly and the public interest favoured maintaining the exemption.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 22 - Complaint Not upheld
