The complainant submitted a request for information to the Ministry of Justice (the ‘MOJ’) for details of Category A prisons which provide ‘Virtual Campus’ facilities. By the date of this notice, the MOJ has yet to provide a substantive response to this request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOJ breached section 10 of the FOIA in that it failed to provide a valid response to the request within 20 working days of receipt. The Commissioner requires the MOJ to issue a response to the request set out in paragraph 5.
