Home Office

The complainant has requested the names and licence numbers of all organisations authorised to issue Certificates of Sponsorship for overseas workers coming to the UK. The Home Office referred the complainant to a list of sponsors which was in the public domain. However, it said that the individual licence numbers were exempt from disclosure under section 31(1)(e) (Law enforcement) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 31(1)(e) of FOIA to refuse to disclose the individual licence numbers. The Commissioner does not require any steps as a result of this decision.

FOI 31: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 207663
