The complainant requested information about a prison inspection. Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (‘HMIP’) answered part of the request by sending the complainant a copy of the 2011 inspection report. It refused the remainder of the request on the basis that it was exempt under section 22 of FOIA (information intended for future publication). The Commissioner’s decision is that HMIP was correct in its handling of this request. Apart from question 1 which it answered by sending the 2011 report, all the information requested was exempt under section 22. He does not require HMIP to take any remedial steps.
