Summary: The complainant asked the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for the names of organisations that provided work boost placements, work experience or other unpaid work activity to customers of Seetec within Contract Package Area 4 (East London) within the past 12 months. The Commissioner-™s decision is that by withholding the information under sections 43(2) and 36(2)(c) the DWP did not deal with the request for information in accordance with the FOIA. By failing to state or explain in its refusal notice that s36(2)(c) was applicable to the requested information the department breached s17(1)(b) and (c) of the FOIA. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0232 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 43 - Complaint Upheld
