Department for Education
The complainant requested from the Department for Education (DfE) information relating to major incidents at the DfE. The DfE provided the complainant with some of the information requested but applied section 31(1)(a) (law enforcement) of FOIA to the withheld information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfE was entitled to rely on section 31(1)(a) to the withheld information. Also, the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner does not require the DfE to take any steps as a result of this decision.FOI 31(1)(a): Complaint not upheld
Decision notice: 164987
