Home Office

The complainant requested information relating to an extradition request he believed had possibly been made. The Home Office refused to confirm or deny whether it held this information and cited the exemptions provided by sections 23(5) (information relating to or supplied by security bodies), 27(4) (international relations) and 31(3) (law enforcement) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on the exemption at section 23(5) to neither confirm nor deny whether it held information within the scope of the request which, if held, would be exempt by virtue of section 23(1) of the FOIA. She requires no steps.
