Summary: The complainant has requested information about an individual connected to the Profumo Affair of 1963. Outside the statutory time for compliance, the public authority confirmed it was applying sections 30 (investigations and proceedings) and 31 (law enforcement) to the request, and that it needed to extend the time for compliance to fully consider the associated public interest test. A response was sent some considerable time later and the Commissioner concludes that the public authority did not comply with section 17(3) by failing to communicate the outcome of the public interest consideration within a reasonable period of time. He also finds that it breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. He does not require any steps.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
