Ministry of Justice
6 November 2017, Central government
The complainant requested statistical information relating to the number of people convicted of particular types of offence who had been released by the Parole Board having completed a specific accredited programme. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) ultimately confirmed that it held information within the scope of the request but that it could not be provided without exceeding the costs limit under section 12 of the FOIA (cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ correctly applied section 12(1) to the requested information. However, she found breaches of section 10(1) (time for compliance) and section 16(1) (duty to provide advice and assistance) of the FOIA. She does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
FOI 12: Not upheld FOI 10: Upheld FOI 16: Upheld
