Department for Transport
12 September 2016, Central government
The complainant has requested information on the Department for Transports (“DfT”) use of powers under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (“RIPA”) in conducting investigations into its own staff. The DfT refused to either confirm or deny if the information was held on the basis of sections 30(3) and 31(3). The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfT has correctly applied the exclusion from the duty to confirm or deny if information is held set out in section 31(3) and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. She requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 31: Not upheld
