The Clerk of The House - House of Commons

The complainant submitted two requests to the House of Commons (HoC) seeking details of how reported incidents of stolen/lost IT equipment had been handled. The HoC disclosed some information in response to the request but withheld further information on the basis of sections 24(1) (national security), 31(1) (law enforcement) and 40(2) (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of sections 24(1) and 40(2) of FOIA.
