ICO The complainant has requested information relating to the business engagements of Her Majesty’s Revenues and Customs (HMRC) board members during the three financial years ending 31 March 2011 and in the period 1 April 2011 to the present time. HMRC refused to comply with the request as it viewed the request to be vexatious. HMRC cited section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as its grounds for refusal. The Commissioner’s decision is that HMRC has correctly applied section 14(1) of the FOIA and that the request is vexatious. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps in this matter.
