- Decision(s) FOI 31: Not upheld
The complainant submitted two requests to the Big Lottery Fund (BLF) seeking details of any concerns it had received or investigations it had undertaken in respect of Melness and Tongue Community Development Trust. The BLF refused to confirm or deny whether it held any information falling within the scope of the requests on the basis of section 31(3), by virtue of section 31(1)(a) (prevention and detection of crime). The Commissioner has concluded that section 31(3) is engaged and that the public interest favours maintaining this exemption. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
