The Home Office refused the request, citing the exemptions provided by sections 35(1)(a) (formulation or development of government policy), 24 (national security), 27 (international relations), 31 (law enforcement), 38 (health and safety) and 40 (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 35(1)(a) of the FOIA to refuse to disclose the requested information.
