If a member of the public requests information regarding a work in progress, do we need to disclose this information eg draft documents/meeting notes if a decision is yet to be made?
As outlined in question 17, the advice from the Information Commissioner states that information must be disclosed regardless of the form in which it is held. Draft documents/meeting notes may therefore need to be disclosed unless otherwise subject to an absolute or qualified exemption (see question 11). Information intended for future publication is usually exempt.
