Dear Mr Taylor,

 

 

Freedom of Information Request F16-367

 

Thank you for your request for information as copied below. You asked for
all papers considered by the Joint Committee on the Palace of Westminster
in June and July 2016.

 

This information is held by the House of Commons.

 

However, this material is subject to parliamentary privilege and is exempt
from disclosure under section 34(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(FOIA). The exemption applies in order to avoid an infringement of the
privileges of Parliament, which include the right of any committee of the
House to decide whether, when and how to publish information relating to
its proceedings. This is an absolute exemption and the public interest
test does not apply.

 

You may, if dissatisfied with the handling of your request, complain to
the House of Commons. Alternatively, if you are dissatisfied with the
outcome of your request you may ask the House of Commons to conduct an
internal review of any decision regarding your request. Complaints or
requests for internal review should be addressed to: Information Rights
and Information Security Service, Research & Information Team, House of
Commons, London SW1A 0AA or [1][House of Commons request email]. Please ensure
that you specify the full reasons for your complaint or internal review
along with any arguments or points that you wish to make.

 

Following an internal review, if the decision to apply section 34
(parliamentary privilege) of the FOIA is upheld, a certificate signed by
the Speaker may be issued. This certificate provides conclusive evidence
that the exemption was required for the purpose described in our response.

 

If you remain dissatisfied, you may appeal to the Information Commissioner
at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF,
[2]www.ico.gov.uk.

 

Yours sincerely,
