1. Information request

Please email me all of your minutes for meetings undertaken so far during 2020 and minutes of any meetings that have not been published online at: Social Security Advisory Committee minutes of meetings

Please also disclose the dates of all meetings which have not had any minutes published on: Social Security Advisory Committee minutes of meetings

2. Response

The Social Security Advisory Committee is a statutory independent non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions.

The information you have requested is held by the Committee.

Minutes of the Committee’s meetings are published on its website. As this information is already reasonably accessible in the public domain, Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act applies.

In terms of the other information you have requested, I can confirm that the Committee met on 4 November, and that minutes will be published in due course. However, as this information is intended for publication at a future date, Section 22 of the Freedom of Information Act exempts this information from disclosure.
