Ministry of Justice

The complainant requested information relating to the number of individuals testing positive for Covid-19 working at, or entering the grounds of, a specified prison. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) confirmed it held some information within the scope of the request but refused to provide it, citing section 40(2) (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) did not apply. The Commissioner requires the MoJ to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: disclose the withheld information to the complainant.

FOI 40: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: ic-108461
