The complainant has requested information about false passports from the Home Office (the ‘HO’). The HO advised that to comply with the request would exceed the cost limit at section 12(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the HO was entitled to rely on section 12(1) of the FOIA. She does however find a breach of section 16(1)(advice and assistance) of the FOIA. No steps are required.
