Department for Education

The complainant has requested the Department for Education (DfE) to disclose a copy of its assets register. The DfE refused to comply with the request citing section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE is not entitled to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the DfE to disclose the requested information to the complainant or issue a fresh response under the FOIA which does not rely on section 14(1).
