Home Office

The complainant requested information relating to facilities provided for asylum seekers/refugees at a named accommodation site. The Home Office neither confirmed nor denied holding the requested information, citing section 38(2) (health and safety) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 38(2) to refuse to confirm or deny whether it holds any information falling within the scope of the request.
No steps are required as a result of this decision.
