The complainant requested a list of names and associated details of individuals ‘presumed dead’ under the Presumption of Death Act 2013. The Home Office refused to provide the requested information on the basis that it is reasonably accessible by other means (section 21 of FOIA). The Commissioner finds that section 21 applies to all of the requested information. She does not require the Home Office to take any steps to comply with FOIA.
