HM Land Registry
The complainant has requested from HM Land Registry (HMLR) the ‘Title Number and UPRN Look Up dataset’. This dataset contains HMLR title numbers and Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRN) for freehold and leasehold land and property registered in England and Wales. HMLR refused to provide this information citing section 21 of FOIA and, after the Commissioner began his investigation, citing section 31 of FOIA regarding the same information. The Commissioner’s decision is that HMLR has incorrectly cited section 21 of FOIA in this instance for the reasons given later in this decision notice but correctly cited section 31 of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require HMLR to take any further steps.FOI 31: Complaint not upheld FOI 21: Complaint upheld
