Barnet Homes Limited

The complainant submitted a request to Barnet Homes Limited (Barnet Homes)  for various information about its publication of FOI responses, a list of FOI responses for an 11 month period and raised concerns that FOI responses were not being routinely published on the Barnet Homes’ website. Barnet Homes provided a range of information to the complainant but refused to provide the list of FOI responses citing section 22 FOIA (information intended for future publication). The Commissioner’s decision is that that Barnet Homes was entitled to rely on section 22 to refuse the request. However, Barnet Homes breached section 17(1) by failing to issue its refusal notice within 20 working days of the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
