The complainant requested information relating to people convicted under the refusal to decrypt legislation. Hampshire Constabulary neither confirmed nor denied that it holds information, citing the exemptions in sections 40(5) (personal information), 23(5) (information supplied by, or concerning security bodies), 24(2) (national security), 31(3) (law enforcement) and 38(2) (health and safety). The Commissioner has investigated and found the public authority correctly relied on section 40(5). He requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0047 dismissed.
