Ministry of Justice
17 July 2017, Central government
The complainant requested a copy of the Tarbiyah programme, an Islamic education course. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) refused to provide the requested information citing section 31(1)(f) of the FOIA (law enforcement – the maintenance and security of good order in prisons). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ concluded incorrectly that the exemption provided by section 31(1)(f) was engaged in relation to some of the information. However, she found that the remaining information was correctly withheld on the basis of the exemption contained at section 31(1)(f) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the MoJ to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation - disclose the PowerPoint presentation and student’s workbook.
FOI 31: Partly upheld
