5824-00242 — Privy Council Office

Privy Council Office

The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office (PCO) failed to respond to an access request within the extended deadline. The request sought records related to committee studies of foreign election interference. The OIC found that PCO did not respond by the required date and is deemed to have refused access. The delay was attributed to the large volume of records and slow consultations. The Information Commissioner ordered PCO to provide a complete response by November 15, 2024, which PCO has committed to doing.
