12 October 2015, Central government
The complainant requested information relating to allegations of child sexual abuse in and around the Palace of Westminster. The Home Office stated that it was unable to establish whether it held this information within the cost limit and refused the request under section 12(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office cited section 12(2) correctly and so it was not obliged to confirm or deny whether it held the requested information. The Commissioner also found, however, that the Home Office breached section 17(5) of the FOIA by failing to respond to the request within 20 working days of receipt.
FOI 12: Not upheld
