Home Office

The complainant has requested information about Ethiopian asylum applicants from the Home Office (“HO”). The HO refused to confirm or deny whether it holds any information citing sections 40(5B) (personal information) and 38(2) (health and safety) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not find either exemption to be engaged. She also finds a breach of section 17(3) (refusal of request) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the HO to confirm or deny whether information falling within the scope of the request is held, and either disclose any information identified or issue a refusal notice which is compliant with section 17 of the FOIA.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint upheld FOI 38: Complaint upheld
