Department for Education
The complainant has requested a copy of the legal advice the DfE holds in relation to the legality of section 444 of the Education Act for parents who take their children out of school to visit relatives overseas. The DfE responded refusing to disclose the requested information citing section 42 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE is entitled to refuse to disclose the requested information under section 42 of the FOIA. She therefore does not require any further action to be taken.FOI 42: Complaint not upheld
