Department for Work and Pensions (Decision Notice) [2014] UKICO FS50526057 (26 March 2014)
Summary: The complainant has requested the ethnic breakdown of everyone selected in the Performance Measurement Exercise for 2012/13. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) refused to comply with the request under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) as it said it would exceed the cost limit to do so. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the DWP has correctly applied section 12 FOIA in this case. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide the complainant with advice and assistance under section 16 FOIA.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Upheld
