ICO finds part of an FOI request was valid

What was published

The Information Commissioner found that part of a request to the ICO itself was valid under section 8 of the Freedom of Information Act. The ICO had failed to deal with that part under section 1 and was required to issue a fresh response or a compliant refusal notice.

Why it matters

A disputed request should be broken into its separate parts. The remedy here was a proper response, not an order to disclose the information.
