The complainant requested information about passports. The Home Office refused to disclose this information under section 12(1) of FOIA as it estimated that the cost of compliance with the request would exceed the appropriate limit. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office applied section 12(1) of FOIA correctly and so it was not obliged to comply with the complainant’s information request. No steps are required.
FOI 12: Not upheld
