The DWP will not disclose personal data about a person as it is exempt under the FOIA. Also you have asked for information about IDS as a normal legal individual.
Each Secretary of State has two legal personalities. One as the Secretary of State and a second as a normal legal individual. All of the work that IDS does as the Secretary of States falls under that legal personality and we are entitled to information about what he does in that role (subject to the FOIA statutory exemptions)but not as a 'normal' person.
