Home Office

The complainant requested an address through which the Home Office UK Visas and Immigration Central Operations Department could be contacted directly by email. The Home Office said that the information was not held. The Commissioner decided that, following its response to the request and disclosure of some information, the Home Office held no undisclosed recorded information that was relevant to it and had complied with the legislation. The Commissioner also decided that, in failing to comply with section 1(1) FOIA within the appropriate timescale, the Home Office had breached section 10(1) FOIA. The Commissioner did not require the Home Office to take any steps to comply with the legislation. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2021/0246 appeal allowed.
