London Borough of Newham

The complainant submitted three requests to the London Borough of Newham (the Council) seeking information about whether two named organisations had received funding to deliver Prevent training and programmes. The Council refused to confirm or deny whether it held information falling within the scope of the requests on the basis of sections 24(2) (national security), 31(3) (law enforcement) and 43(3) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the Council is entitled to rely on section 24(2) of FOIA to refuse to confirm or deny whether it holds any information falling within the scope of each of the requests. She has also concluded that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining the exemption in each request.
