Equality and Human Rights Commission

The complainant has requested from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) the nature of complaints that were sampled in a report, Investigation into antisemitism in the Labour Party that was published in October 2020. The EHRC refused to provide this information, citing section 44 – prohibitions on disclosure, later it also cited section 31 – law enforcement. The Commissioner’s decision is that the EHRC has correctly cited section 44(1)(a) of the FOIA. The public authority is not required to take any further steps. First-tier tribunal (General Regulatory chamber) information rights EA/2022/0013 appeal struck out.
