Lauchlan v Scottish Prison Service: SIC 29 Jan 2010

Mr Lauchlan requested from the Scottish Prison Service (the SPS) copies of documents setting out SPS policy or guidance as to contact between same sex partners. The SPS responded by providing Mr Lauchlan with a notice under section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA) that information relevant to his request was not held. Following a review, Mr Lauchlan remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the SPS had dealt with Mr Lauchlan’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA. He did not require the SPS to take any action.
