The complainant has requested correspondence about a meeting which took place on 29 July 2016 from the Home Office (the “HO”). The HO refused to provide this citing the exemptions at sections 36(2)(b)(i) & (ii) (prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs) and 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the HO was entitled to rely on section 36(2)(b)(i) & (ii) to withhold the requested information. No steps are required. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2017/0293 dismissed.
