Home Office

The complainant has requested information about a particular visit made by the Australian High Commissioner to the UK, to the Home Office. The Home Office confirmed that it held some of the requested information but that it was exempt from disclosure under sections 27(1)(a) and 27(2) (International relations), and section 40(2) (Personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 27(1)(a) to withhold all of the information falling within the scope of the request and that the public interest favoured maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner requires no steps as a result of this decision.
