The complainant requested information regarding the deportation of Caribbean migrants over the past ten years.

The Commissioner also finds that the Home Office has breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Home Office to issue a substantive response to the request in accordance with its obligations under the FOIA.
