Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what instructions have been given to staff in his Department dealing with freedom of information requests on the application of Freedom of Information Act Awareness Guidance No. 19, issued by the Information Commissioner's Office, in considering whether to apply the exemptions in section 38 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
The Ministry of Justice has published its own guidance on the use of this exemption. This is available here: http://www.justuce.gov.uk/information-access-rights/foi-guidance-for-practitioners/exemptions-guidance
