- Decision(s) FOI 43: Not upheld
The complainant requested the total payments made to the previous operators of two Immigration Removal Centres (IRCs) for the final year of the contracts. The Home Office refused to disclose this information under the exemption provided by section 43(2) (prejudice to commercial interests) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office cited section 43(2) correctly and so it was not obliged to disclose this information.
