14 September 2017, Central government
The complainant has requested information about parcel operators. Ofcom withheld the information under section 44 of the FOIA (prohibitions on disclosure). During the Commissioner’s investigation, although it maintained its position that it had correctly applied section 44(1)(a) to the request, Ofcom voluntarily released the requested information to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that Ofcom was entitled to rely on section 44(1)(a) when it originally withheld the disputed information. The Commissioner does not require Ofcom to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 44: Not upheld
