Department for Transport (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50494861 (10 September 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested information from the Department for Transport (DfT) about airport security scanners. The Commissioner considers that this request relates to similar matters dealt with in previous decision notices. The analysis and conclusions reached in the previous notices are applicable in this instance, and are supported by a new analysis using updated guidance. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the DfT was correct to deem the request 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 a refusal notice in respect of the request. In view of the above, he does not require the DfT to take any further action.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 14 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Not upheld
