Home Office (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50441785 (16 August 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested copies of the responses submitted to the Home Office in response to the government's consultation in 2011 on ending age discrimination in access to goods and services. The Home Office refused to provide the responses on the basis of section 35(1)(a). During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation, the Home Office explained that it now considered the policy in question to be complete and consequently section 35(1)(a) was no longer engaged (albeit it maintained its position that this information was exempt from disclosure at the time of the request). In light of this development the Home Office provided the complainant with the responses he had requested. The Commissioner has concluded that the Home Office breached section 10(1) of FOIA by not providing these responses within 20 working days of the complainant-™s request.
