Home Office (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50206324 (01 March 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested information, including a briefing paper and a report, about gun crime. The Home Office claimed that the information was exempt from disclosure by virtue of sections 31 (law enforcement), 35 (the formulation and development of government policy) and section 36 (prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs). During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation the Home Office additionally cited section 21 (accessible to applicant by other means). The Commissioner finds that some of the information is not exempt and orders its disclosure. The Commissioner also found a number of procedural breaches.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 21 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 31 - Complaint Upheld
