Home Office

The complainant has requested numbers of citizenship deprivation orders for a two year period from the Home Office (“HO”). The HO refused to provide this citing the exemptions at sections 23(1) (information supplied by, or relating to, security bodies) and section 24(1) (national security) in the alternative. At internal review stage it added reliance on section 36(2)(c) (prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs) in respect of part (2) of the request. It subsequently withdrew reliance in section 36(2)(c), but added reliance on sections 27(1)(a)(c) and (d) (international relations). The Commissioner is satisfied that the that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 23(1) or, in the alternative, section 24(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
