- Decision(s) FOI 31: Not upheld
The complainant has requested to know the number of visa fraud or human trafficking complaints made about a particular set of companies, and, if appropriate, the number of criminal charges brought as a result. Hertfordshire Constabulary would neither confirm nor deny whether it held the requested information, citing sections 31(3) (Law enforcement) and 40(5) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Hertfordshire Constabulary was entitled to rely on section 31 to issue an NCND response. The Commissioner requires no steps as a result of this decision.
