Home Office
1 February 2017, Central government
The complainant requested the reports made by the managers of Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre about the conditions under which certain detainees were held for the month of March 2014. The Home Office provided extracts giving some information from the relevant reports but declined to provide the complete reports in full. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office has applied the section 31(1) FOIA (law enforcement) exemption correctly. In the light of her findings in relation to section 31 FOIA, the Commissioner did not proceed to consider application by the Home Office of the section 40(2) FOIA (personal information) exemption. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 31: Not upheld
