Ministry of Justice (MoJ)

The complainant has requested information about offenders carrying out community service in a particular location. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) disclosed some information, but it would neither confirm nor deny whether it held information relating to whether any of the offenders were sex offenders, citing section 38(2) (Health and safety) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ was entitled to rely on section 38(2) to neither confirm nor deny whether it held the requested information.
