Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister
22 April 2015, Central government
The complainant has requested information relating to the Central Good Relations Funding Programme administered by the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister (OFMDFM). OFMDFM has failed to respond to the request; therefore the Commissioner’s decision is that OFMDFM has failed to comply with section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the public authority to firstly, confirm or deny that the requested information is held (or, if the public authority decides to refuse to confirm or deny that any of the requested information is held, a refusal notice should be issued that complies with the requirements of section 17 of the FOIA). Secondly, and subject to the above, if the information is held the public authority must either disclose the requested information or, if it wishes to withhold any information, issue a refusal notice in relation to the information it wishes to withhold and disclose the remainder.
