  • Decision(s) FOI 27: Not upheld
The complainant requested a copy of the memorandum on the Common Travel Area signed between Ireland and the UK. The Home Office refused to disclose the memorandum, citing sections 27 (international relations) and 31 (law enforcement) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office correctly withheld the memorandum. He requires no steps to be taken.
