Cumbria Constabulary
15 November 2016, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested information about the number of referrals in respect of anti-fracking activism that Cumbria Constabulary has made to the government counter terrorism programme, Channel. Cumbria Constabulary would neither confirm nor deny holding information, citing sections 24(2) (national security) and 31(3) (law enforcement). The Commissioner’s decision is that section 24(2) is engaged and that the public interest favours maintaining the exclusion of the duty to confirm or deny whether information is held. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
FOI 24: Not upheld
