Home Office

The complainant has requested details of a £2.5 million settlement for a contractual claim which was listed in the Home Office’s (“HO”) 2015-16 annual accounts. The HO refused to provide the requested information citing section 43(2) (commercial interests) of the FOIA as its basis for doing so; it later added reliance on section 41(1) (information provided in confidence). The Commissioner’s decision is that neither exemption is engaged and she therefore requires the HO to either disclose the requested information or issue a fresh response, compliant with section 17 of the FOIA, which does not rely on section 43(2) or 41(1).

FOI 43: Complaint upheld FOI 41: Complaint upheld
