- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant submitted a request for information relating to the provision of a specified book in prisons from the Ministry of Justice (the ‘MOJ’). By the date of this notice, the MOJ has yet to provide a substantive response to this request. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that the MOJ breached section 10 of the FOIA in that it failed to provide a valid response to the request within 20 working days of receipt. He requires the public authority to respond to the request in accordance with the obligations under the FOIA.
