The complainant has requested information about passport application documents for their deceased parents submitted historically at the UK Consulate of Baghdad. The Home Office disclosed some information, with redactions in accordance with section 40 (personal information) of FOIA.

The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Home Office does not hold any further information within the scope of the request. The Commissioner also finds that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA in relation to the redacted information.

The Commissioner does not require further steps.
