Department for Work and Pensions
The complainant has requested any reports sent to a specified director general on the topic of mail handling delays. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is entitled to rely on section 12(2) to refuse to comply with the request. However, the Commissioner considers that DWP has failed to provide adequate advice and assistance in accordance with section 16. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide the complainant with further advice and assistance. The public authority 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 FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.FOI 12: Complaint not upheld FOI 16: Complaint upheld
