The complainant requested information on payments, together with copies of invoices, relating to a large bill settled by Chelmsford Prison between September 2003 and March 2004. It was alleged that the Home Office had not provided all the information. The Home Office replied stating that it held no further information than that already provided in response to a previous, similar request made by the complainant. Following the ICO's investigation, the Home Office provided copies of the invoices and the Commissioner is satisfied with the assurance that there is no further information available. However, a breach of the Act has occurred because the response was received outside the 20 working day limit.
