Department for Culture Media and Sport

The complainant has requested correspondence involving the Minister for Sport or the Secretary of State for then Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, now Department for Culture, Media and Sport (“DCMS”) regarding the European Super League from 12 – 30 April 2021 inclusive. DCMS responded after the Commissioner served a Decision Notice requiring it to do so. It refused to provide the requested information and cited provisions of section 36 (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that DCMS is entitled to rely on section 36 as its basis for withholding the requested information. No steps are required.

FOI 36: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 180121
