Home Office
8 June 2015, Central government
The complainant requested information concerning an application for a licence to carry out animal testing. The Home Office refused to disclose this information and cited the exemptions provided by sections 44(1)(a) (statutory prohibition to disclosure) and 38(1) (endangerment to health and safety) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 44(1)(a) was cited correctly and so the Home Office was not obliged to disclose the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the Home Office to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 44: Not upheld
