Home Office (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50430043 (12 June 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested correspondence exchanged between the Home Office and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) regarding the MPS-™ review of the Madeleine McCann case. The Home Office disclosed one document but explained that the remaining six documents that it held were exempt from disclosure on the basis of a number of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act, including section 36 (the effective conduct of public affairs exemption) and section 27 (the international relations exemption). The Commissioner is satisfied that the documents withheld by the Home Office are exempt from disclosure on the basis of these exemptions and in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining each of the exemptions.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 27 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
