- Decision(s) FOI 10(1): Upheld, FOI 23: Not upheld
The complainant has requested a copy of a review of the Proceeds of Crime Centre. The Home Office refused to disclose the information, citing section 23(1) (Information supplied by, or relating to, bodies dealing with security matters). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 23(1) of FOIA to refuse the request. However, he finds that the Home Office breached section 10(1) as it did not provide its response to the request within the statutory timeframe. The Commissioner does not require the Home Office to take any remedial steps.
