Home Office
22 March 2016, Central government
The complainant requested information relating to whether a named high profile individual held a British passport. The Home Office refused to confirm or deny whether it held this information and cited the exemption provided by section 40(5) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office cited section 40(5) correctly, so it was not obliged to confirm or deny whether the requested information was held.
FOI 40: Not upheld
