- Decision(s) FOI 31: Not upheld
The complainant has requested incident logs and emails relating to small boat crossings on the English Channel on a particular date. Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) refused the request under section 31 FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that MCA has correctly engaged sections 31(1)(b) and (c) and the public interest favours withholding the information and maintaining the exemptions. He doesn’t require MCA to take any steps.
