Home Office FOI Request on Migrant Housing Partly Upheld

The Information Commissioner has issued a decision notice regarding a Freedom of Information request made to the Home Office for information about migrant housing at RAF Scampton. The ICO found that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious requests) and regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR (manifestly unreasonable request) to refuse the information request. However, the ICO determined that the Home Office failed to comply with section 16 of FOIA and regulation 9 of the EIR by not providing advice and assistance to help refine the burdensome request.
