Department for Work and Pensions

The complainant has requested information about the Universal Credit programme and its information technology systems. The DWP relies on sections 22 (future publication) and 31(1) (a) (prevention of crime) to withhold requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that DWP incorrectly relied on section 22, but correctly relied on 31(1) (a), to withhold requested information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide the complainant with the information withheld by reference to section 22.
