- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld
The complainant requested from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) information concerning due diligence protocols undertaken by HM Prison & Probation Service/National Probation Service prior to the lease agreement between [name of development company redacted], leaseholds of [name redacted] and the MoJ. The MoJ stated it does not hold any information falling within scope of the request.
The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the MoJ does not hold the information falling within scope of the request, and it has complied with section 1(1)(a) of FOIA. Therefore the Commissioner does not require the MoJ to take any further steps as a result of this decision.
