Electoral Commission
26 October 2017, Central government
The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Electoral Commission for copies of representations it had received from the Conservative Party in relation to the Commission’s investigation of its campaign spending returns. The Commission refused to disclose the requested information in reliance on the section 31 (law enforcement) exemption. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is exempt under section 31(1)(g) and the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 31: Not upheld
