  • Decision(s) FOI 12(1): Not upheld, FOI 16(1): Not upheld

The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) is entitled to rely on section 12(1) of FOIA to refuse the multi-part request for Data Protection Impact Assessments as complying with it would exceed the appropriate cost limit. There was no breach of section 16(1), which concerns advice and assistance. It’s not necessary for the DLUHC to take any steps.
