ICO The complainant requested information relating to whether the UK citizenship of the first lady of Syria had been revoked. The Home Office refused to confirm or deny whether it held this information and cited the exemption provided by section 40(5) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office cited section 40(5) correctly so it was not obliged to confirm or deny whether it held the requested information.
