Ministry of Justice
6 April 2017, Central government
The complainant has made two information requests for statistical data relating to numbers of drug finds in English prisons from the Ministry of Justice (the “MoJ”). The MoJ refused to provide this on the basis of sections 22 (information intended for future publication) and 44(1)(a) (prohibitions on disclosure) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that neither exemption is engaged. The Commissioner requires the MoJ disclose the requested information or issue a fresh response which does not rely on section 22 or 44(1)(a).
FOI 22: Upheld FOI 44: Upheld
