Ministry of Justice
7 August 2017, Central government
The complainant has requested information about offenders who absconded from Ford Open Prison and any temporary release failures. The Ministry of Justice disclosed some information and withheld the remainder, citing the section 40(2) (personal data) exemption of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) of FOIA applies to all of the withheld information. However, she considers that the Ministry of Justice has breached sections 10 (time for compliance) and 17 (refusal of a request) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Ministry of Justice to take any further steps as a result of this decision.
FOI 40(2): Not upheld FOI 10(1): Upheld FOI 17 (1): Upheld
