Home Office

The complainant requested the number of meetings that the Home Secretary had had with the Prime Minister. The Home Office had yet to respond because it had not completed its public interest considerations at the date of this notice. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office has failed to complete its considerations on the balance of the public interest within a reasonable timeframe and has therefore breached section 17(3) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Home Office to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: either confirm or deny that information is held or; provide a copy of any information that is held or; issue a refusal notice that complies with section 17 of the FOIA.

FOI 17(3): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: IC-61195-D2K0
