Secretary of State for the Home Department (Home Office)

The complainant requested information relating to the monitoring of immigration legal practitioners, as referenced by the then Minister of State for Immigration. The Home Office confirmed it holds some information within the scope of the request, but refused to provide it, citing sections 36(2)(b)(i)(ii) and 36(2)(c) (prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs) and 31(1)(a) (law enforcement) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 36(2)(c) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.

FOI 36: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 265658
