Home Office
18 September 2017, Central government
The complainant has requested information relating to refusals of UK citizenship applications for applicants failing the good character requirement. The Home Office provided some information but did not comply with the rest of the request, citing section 12 (cost limits) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office has applied section 12 of FOIA appropriately. However, the Commissioner considers that the Home Office has breached sections 21 (information accessible by other means), 10 (time for compliance) and 17 (request for information) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Home Office to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
FOI 10: Upheld FOI 12: Not upheld FOI 17: Upheld FOI 21: Upheld
