The complainant requested information relating to the monitoring of immigration legal practitioners, as referenced by the then Minister of State for Immigration.

The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 36(2)(c) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.FOI 36: Complaint not upheld
