Home Office

The complainant asked the Home Office for information about the reported removal of ‘welcoming’ signage, and the painting over of children’s wall art, at the Kent (Asylum) Intake Unit. The Home Office refused the request, citing section 12(1) (Cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 12(1) of FOIA to refuse the request, and that it complied with its obligations under section 16(1) (Advice and assistance).

FOI 12: Complaint not upheld FOI 16: Complaint not upheld
