The complainant has requested information relating to the deportation of two individuals. The Home Office refused to confirm or deny whether it held this information and cited the exemption provided by section 40(5) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office cited section 40(5) correctly and so it was not obliged to confirm or deny whether it held this information.
FOI 40: Not upheld
