  • Decision(s) FOI 31: Not upheld

The complainant requested the circulation list for reports produced by the Extremism Analysis Unit. The Home Office refused to provide the requested information, citing sections 31(1)(a) (law enforcement) and 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 31(1)(a) and that the public interest favoured maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
