Care Quality Commission

The complainant has requested information about care providers whose licence to sponsor visas had been revoked. The above public authority relied on sections 41 (breach of confidence) and 31 (law enforcement) to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 41 of FOIA is not engaged. Section 31 is engaged and the balance of the public interest favours maintaining this exemption. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
