- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant requested information about the number of prisoner transfers to a specified prison over a two year period, broken down by month. The Ministry of Justice (the ‘MOJ’) refused to provide the requested information, citing section 40(2), the exemption for personal information, of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOJ was entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA to refuse this request. She does not require the MOJ to take any steps.
