Home Office

The complainant requested information relating to an aircraft incident that occurred on 17 August 1988, and which caused the death of the then president of Pakistan, and then ambassador to Pakistan for the United States of America. The Home Office refused to confirm or deny whether information was held and cited the exemptions provided by sections 23(5), 27(4), and 31(3) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Home Office was entitled to rely upon the exemption provided by section 23(5) to neither confirm nor deny whether it held information within the scope of the request, which, if held, would be exempt by virtue of section 23(1).

FOI 23: Complaint not upheld
