Link for IOC full Decision notice pdf file: Ministry of Justice (MoJ) (Central government) [2025] UKICO 311988 (1 April 2025)
The complainant requested information from the IMB Staff Group for Independent Monitoring Boards (the -˜IMB Staff Group'), specifically an organisation chart and a list of the Chairs for prisons oversight. The IMB Staff Group provided some explanatory information about its organisation structure but withheld the names of the Chairs, citing the exemptions in sections 40(2) (personal information), and section 31 (law enforcement) of FOIA. The Commissioner has determined that the IMB Staff Group (which provides the Independent Monitoring Boards or IMBs with administrative and policy support) falls under the remit of the Ministry of Justice (the -˜MOJ') for the reasons set out in this notice. He has also determined that the requested list of Chairs' names is held by the MOJ for the purposes of FOIA and that the MOJ was entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA to refuse to provide the remaining information. As the Commissioner has found section 40(2) of FOIA to be engaged, he has not deemed it necessary to consider the MOJ's reliance on sections 31(1)(a) or (f) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the MOJ to take any steps as a result of this decision.
