Carl Sargeant AM leak inquiry

2 February 2022

Dear 

ATISN 15922

Thank you for your request which I received on 5 January 2022.  

With regard to the inquiry into the alleged leak of information to a third party in advance of the then First Minister's dismissal from the Cabinet of the late Carl Sargeant AM, you asked for the following information:

publication of all sections of the inquiry report relating to the conclusion there had been a disclosure by the then senior special advisor authorised by the then First Minister.

The leak investigation closure minute to the Permanent Secretary was published in full by the Welsh Government on 11 July 2019. There was no other report.
 
If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response. Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at: 

Information Rights Unit 
Welsh Government
Cathays Park 
Cardiff 
CF10 3NQ 

or e-mail: Freedom.ofinformation@gov.wales

Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above.    
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:  

Information Commissioner’s Office 
Wycliffe House

Telephone: 0303 123 1113

However, please note that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been through our own internal review process.

Yours sincerely,
