HM Land Registry

The complainant has requested information about the pattern and value of land ownership for individuals in England and Wales. Her Majesty’s Land Registry (HMLR) has stated that the requested information is not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that HMLR has misinterpreted the complainant’s request. The Commissioner further finds on the balance of probabilities that HMLR does hold information of the description set out in the request. The Commissioner requires HMLR to issues a fresh response to the request, either by disclosing information of the description specified or by refusing the request in accordance with section 17 FOIA. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

FOI 1: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: fs50672636
