Home Office (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50424503 (28 February 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information recording contact between the Home Office and Northumbria Police concerning an attempted murder. No response was provided to this request and the Home Office stated that it had no record of having received it. The Commissioner-™s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Home Office did receive this information request and it has breached sections 1 and 10 of the FOIA by failing to respond to it. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide to the complainant a response to her information request. This response should confirm or deny whether any information is held that falls within the scope of this request. For any information that is held, this should either be disclosed or the complainant should be provided with valid reasoning for why it will not be disclosed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
