- Decision(s) FOI 31: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information associated with its granting of a betting licence to BetIndex Limited. The Gambling Commission (GC) directed the complainant to relevant published information and withheld an internal guidance document under section 31(1)(g) of FOIA, which concerns law enforcement. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The GC has correctly applied section 31(1)(g) of FOIA to the information it is withholding, by virtue of section 31(2)(d). The public interest favours withholding the information. The Commissioner does not require the GC to take any corrective steps.
