The Insolvency Service

The complainant has requested The Insolvency Service disclose a copy of its response to the complainant’s letter of 11 July 2023. The Insolvency Service initially refused the request with reliance on section 40(5B(a)(i) to neither confirm nor deny whether the information was held. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation The Insolvency Service amended its position to rely on section 40(5A) to neither confirm nor deny whether the requested information is held. The Commissioner’s decision is that The Insolvency Service is entitled to rely on the provision at section 40(5A) to neither confirm nor deny whether the requested information is held. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
