Home Office

The complainant has requested a particular file about the Lockerbie bombing from the Home Office. The Home Office provided some of the information but refused to provide the remainder, citing sections 31(1)(a)(b)(c) (Law enforcement), 40(2) (Personal information) and 23(1) (Information supplied by, or relating to, bodies dealing with security matters) or 24(1) (National security) in the alternative, of FOIA. For most of the information, the Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on sections 23(1) / 24(1) in the alternative and sections 31(1)(a)(b)(c) of FOIA to withhold it. However, for the one document referred to in paragraph 13 of this notice, the Home Office is required to either disclose the letter to the complainant or provide evidence to the Commissioner that it has already done so.
