Highways England

The complainant has requested information about automated cameras used to enforce the use of Red X lanes on the strategic road network. Highways England refused to provide the information it held on the basis of either section 38 or 31 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Highways England has correctly withheld the information at part e) of the request on the basis of section 38(1)(b) but has failed to demonstrate that either section 38(1) or 31(1)(a) is engaged in relation to parts c) and d) of the request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information requested at parts c) and d) of the request.
