Link for IOC full Decision notice pdf file: Secretary of State for the Home Department (Home Office) (Central government) [2025] UKICO 336528 (24 March 2025)
The complainant requested information relating to the number of occasions that Suella Braverman, the then Home Secretary, forwarded emails from her ministerial email account to one of her privately held email accounts. The Home Office cited section 21(1) (information accessible to the applicant by other means) of FOIA to refuse the request. The complainant disputes that the Home Office conducted appropriate searches to locate the information within the scope of the request and, therefore, that it was not entitled to rely on that exemption to refuse the request. The Commissioner's decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Home Office does not hold further information within the scope of the request. He is also satisfied that the Home Office correctly applied section 21(1) in this case. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
