Home Office
3 May 2016, Central government
The complainant requested information about the seizure of illegal and counterfeit items at the Port of Tilbury in Essex. The Home Office confirmed it holds information with the scope of the request, but refused to provide it citing section 31(1)(a) and (b) (law enforcement - the prevention or detection of crime and the apprehension or prosecution of offenders) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on sections 31(1)(a) and (b). No steps are required as a result of this decision.
FOI 31: Not upheld
