Home Office
The complainant requested information about the death of a named individual in a particular accommodation. The Home Office provided some information with redactions but withheld the remainder citing sections 38(1)(a) and (b) (health and safety), 40(2) (personal information) and 41(1)(b) (information provided in confidence) of FOIA. The complainant is concerned only with the information withheld in its entirety so the Commissioner has not needed to consider the redactions within the disclosed information. Furthermore, the complainant said he was not interested in the disclosure of any personal information bar that of the named individual. Section 40(2) cannot apply to deceased individuals so the Commissioner has not considered the Home Office’s reliance on section 40(2) of FOIA any further. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 41(1)(b) of FOIA. He has therefore not deemed it necessary to consider the Home Office’s reliance on section 38 of FOIA. No steps are required as a result of this notice. Keywords: Asylum seekers
