Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency

The complainant requested information from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) relating to the Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) data and report. The MHRA refused the request under section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious request). The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and therefore the MHRA was entitled to rely upon section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this decision notice.
