Metropolitan Police Service (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50315193 (21 June 2011)
Summary: The complainant asked for information relating to the trade unionist Albert Fava who was deported from Gibraltar in 1948. The public authority refused to confirm or deny whether it held information falling within the scope of the request, citing the exemptions from the duty to confirm or deny provided by sections 23(5) (information relating to, or supplied by security bodies), 24(2) (national security) and 31(3) (law enforcement) of the Act. The Commissioner finds that the exemption provided by section 23(5) was applied correctly and so the public authority is not required to confirm or deny whether it holds the information requested. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0154 has been disposed of by way of a consent order.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 23 - Complaint Not upheld
