Decision (including any steps ordered)
1. The complainant has requested information relating to the Equality and
Human Rights Commission’s (‘EHRC’) investigation
1
into the Labour
party.
2. The EHRC originally withheld all information within the scope of the
request under section 44(1)(a) (prohibitions on disclosure) of the FOIA.
3. During the course of this investigation, the EHRC changed its stance.
The EHRC has now confirmed that it does not hold all of the information
that falls within the scope of the request and the information that it does
hold is exempt from disclosure under section 44(1)(a) and section
31(1)(g) by virtue of section of 31(2)(c) (law enforcement).
4. The Commissioner’s decision is that, in relation to parts 1 and 2 of the
request, on the balance of probabilities, the EHRC does not hold the
requested information. The Commissioner has also determined that the
EHRC is entitled to withhold the information that it does hold under
section 44(1)(a).
5. The Commissioner does not require the EHRC to take any further steps.
