- Decision(s) FOI 21: Not upheld, FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information about the recipients of the Queen’s or King’s Police Medal. The Home Office refused to disclose the information, citing section 21(1) (information accessible to applicant by other means) and section 40(2) (personal information) of FOIA as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was correct to rely on sections 21(1) and 40(2) to refuse to disclose the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the Home Office to take any further steps.
