- Decision(s) FOI 10(1): Upheld, FOI 38: Not upheld
The complainant submitted a request to the Home Office for information relating to the housing of migrants at a named hotel. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office correctly applied section 38(2) of FOIA to the request. However in failing to respond to the request within the statutory timescale, the Commissioner has determined that the Home Office breached section 10(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any further steps.
