Home Office

The complainant requested information from the Home office about submissions as set out in paragraph 353 of the Immigration Rules, which they received and processed in the years 2017/18 to 2019/20. The Home Office had failed to provide a substantive response to this request by the date of this notice. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Home Office to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Issue a substantive response, under the FOIA, to the request. The Home Office must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: IC-58473-B3T2
