Secretary of State for the Home Department (Home Office)

The complainant requested a costs breakdown associated with issuing passports to British adults and children. Ultimately, the Home Office provided some explanatory detail and a link to a published table, but said it did not hold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the requested information is not held by the Home Office. He also finds that the Home Office complied with its advice and assistance obligations in accordance with section 16 of FOIA. No further steps are required as a result of this notice.
