The Commissioner requires the HO to confirm or deny whether information falling within the scope of the request is held, and either disclose any information identified or issue a refusal notice which is compliant with section 17 of the FOIA.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint upheld FOI 38: Complaint upheld
