- Decision(s) FOI 22: Upheld
The complainant requested information about HMP Northumberland, including monthly data relating to violent incidents since October 2011. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) confirmed it held the requested information. It provided some relevant information but refused to disclose the remainder citing section 22 of FOIA (information intended for future publication). The Commissioner has investigated MoJ’s application of section 22 to the information it withheld relating to violent incidents. His decision is that MoJ incorrectly applied section 22 to that information. The Commissioner requires the MoJ to disclose the information relating to violent incidents in 2014 withheld under section 22 of the FOIA. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2015/0040 withdrawn.
