The complainant requested for access to all the documents held by the Information Commissioner’s Office in connection with its investigation of two Freedom of Information complaints. The ICO refused to disclose the requested information citing section 30 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. After a careful evaluation of the requested information, the information received during this investigation and the relevant provisions of the Act, the Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has validly applied the exemption in section 30. Consequently the complaint is not upheld.
FOI 30: Not upheld
