Information Commissioner's Office

The complainant has requested information about companies that instigated marketing email messages. The ICO has withheld the information under section 31(1)(g) of the FOIA (law enforcement). The Commissioner’s decision is that the ICO can rely on section 31(1)(g) to withhold the requested information and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.  The Commissioner does not require the ICO to take any remedial steps.
