Home Office
2 July 2015, Central government
The complainant has requested information about a “file amnesty” exercise referred to in the Wanless and Whittam Review. The Home Office failed to respond to this request for information and the Commissioner’s decision is that in doing so it breached sections 1(1) and 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Home Office to respond to the request. The Home Office must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
