The complainant submitted a request for information to the House of Commons (the ‘HOC’) for a list of MPs who are Freemasons and associated details. However, he addressed the request to Michael Gove Member of Parliament (‘MP’) and not directly to the HOC. The Commissioner’s decision is that, for the reasons set out in this notice, the request is not valid under FOIA. He does not require the HOC to take any steps.
