The FCA disclosed some of this information but withheld parts of it under section 31 of FOIA – law enforcement and section 40(2) of FOIA – personal information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information was correctly withheld by the FCA under sections 31(1) and 40(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
