Home Office

The complainant has requested information from the Home Office in relation to phone sim cards provided to asylum seekers. The Home Office refused to provide the requested information, citing section 43(2) of FOIA – commercial interests. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information engages section 43(2) and that the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this decision notice.
