1. Request
Please provide all the business case options submitted for consideration to the Home Office/Public Protection Unit regarding the introduction of business licensing in relation to monitored recommendation eight (MR8) of the Manchester Arena Inquiry Report Volume 1.
2. Response
This information is exempt from disclosure under Section 22 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Section 22 of the FOIA relates to information intended for future publication. The SIA can confirm that this information is held by us and at the time of your request, we intend to publish it at a future date that is not yet determined.
It is important to state that any response given under the FOIA is a response into the public domain and not only to you. Should the SIA release information intended for future publication only to you first, this would be prejudicial to the others who wish to access it which is unacceptable of a public body. I am of the view that there is no public interest in sharing the information with you first prior to its public release.
