Department for Transport (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50443225 (06 August 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested information from the Department for Transport (DfT) relating to the use of airport security scanners (scanners). The Commissioner considers that these requests relate to similar matters dealt with in a previous decision notice and therefore the analysis and conclusions reached in that previous notice are applicable in this instance. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the DfT was correct to deem the requests considered here as vexatious for the purposes of section 14(1) of the FOIA. Furthermore, the Commissioner has concluded that under section 17(6) of the FOIA (further refusal notice not required) the DfT was entitled not to issue refusal notices in respect of the requests. In view of the above, he does not require the DfT to take any further action. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0185 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 14 - Complaint Not upheld
