Ministry of Justice

The complainant requested information relating to a claim concerning alleged historic abuse at the St William’s Approved School near Market Weighton. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) refused to provide the requested information, citing section 31(1)(c) (law enforcement) of the FOIA as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ was entitled to rely on the exemption at section 31(1)(c) of the FOIA and that the public interest favoured maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
