Summary: The complainant requested under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -˜Act-™) some information about a compliance investigation that the MHRA had undertaken. The MHRA replied that it believed that section 44 applied and it withheld the information. It also withheld the name of one of its member-™s of staff by virtue of section 40(2). The complainant referred this case to the Commissioner. In particular, he argued that the wrong statutory bar had been applied by the MHRA. The Commissioner finds that section 44(1)(b) has been applied appropriately to all of the information withheld under section 44. He also finds that the MHRA have applied the appropriate statutory bar. He has also found that section 40(2) has been applied appropriately to the one name. He finds procedural breaches of sections 17(1) and 17(1)(b), but requires no remedial steps to be taken in this case. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0199 withdrawn.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 44 - Complaint Not upheld
