Home Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50392014 (16 November 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information about whether the president of Syria has been granted UK citizenship. The Home Office refused to confirm or deny whether it held any information covered by the request, citing the personal information exemption provided by section 40(5) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-˜the Act-™). The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the Home Office acted correctly in applying this exemption and that it is not required to confirm or deny whether it holds the requested information. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/00297 withdrawn.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
