- Decision(s) FOI 44: Not upheld
The complainant made a Freedom of Information request to the ICO for correspondence with the Home Office regarding its handling of FOI requests.

The Commissioner’s decision is that the section 44 exemption applies to all of the withheld information and the ICO dealt with the request in accordance with FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
