Secretary of State for the Home Department (Home Office)

The complainant made a multi-part request for information relating to Kemi Badenoch. The Home Office would neither confirm nor deny (NCND) whether it held any information, citing section 40(5B) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was correct to rely on section 40(5B)(a)(i) of FOIA to issue an NCND response to all parts of the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
