Home Office

The complainant has requested information about the interception, by French authorities, of migrants trying to cross the English Channel illegally. The Home Office confirmed that it held some of the requested information, which it said was exempt from disclosure under sections 27(1)(a) (International relations) and 31(1)(a), (b) and (e) (Law enforcement) of FOIA. It said that it did not hold the remaining information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was entitled to rely on sections 31(1)(a), (b) and (e) of FOIA to withhold the information specified in part (1) of the request. He finds that, on the balance of probabilities, it does not hold the information specified in parts (2) and (3).
