Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
The complainant has requested copies of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s (PHSO)’s Security Guidance and its Security Operating Procedures. The PHSO provided a copy of the Security Operating Procedure and a limited amount of information from the Security Guidance. It withheld the rest of the information from the guidance under section 31 – law enforcement. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 31 does not apply to all the information which the PHSO is continuing to withhold. By failing to communicate the information not protected by the exemption, the PHSO has breached section 1 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information which does not engage the exemption provided by section 31. This information is identified in a confidential annex which has been provided solely to the PHSO.FOI 31: Complaint partly upheld
