The complainant requested a list of film and television projects the Home Office had communicated with during the period 2013 to 2015. The Home Office refused to confirm or deny whether it held this information and cited the exemptions provided by the following sections of the FOIA: 24(2) (national security), 38(2) (health and safety), 43(3) (prejudice to commercial interests). The Commissioner’s decision is that these exemptions are not engaged and the Home Office is now required to issue a fresh response to the request.
