- Decision(s) FOI 30: Partly upheld
The complainant has requested copies of any documents or correspondence that contained the phrases “election interference” or “political interference” between 1 May 2024 and 22 July 2024. The Gambling Commission (‘the GC’) relied on section 30(3) of FOIA and section 31(3) of FOIA to neither confirm nor deny whether it held the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that, although the GC was entitled to rely on section 30 of FOIA, it was not entitled to neither confirm nor deny whether it held the requested information.
