Home Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50393743 (19 December 2011)
Summary: The complainant has requested information about the timeline for announcing proposals to restructure parts of the Identity and Passport Service. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Home Office does not hold any further information within the scope of the complainant-™s requests. It also provided him with adequate advice and assistance with regard to his requests. However, it should have provided a formal denial as to whether certain information was held within 20 working days. In failing to do so, it contravened sections 1 and 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps because it provided a formal denial to the complainant during the course of his investigation.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
