National Highways (formerly Highways England Company Limited)

The complainant has requested information about a specific speed limit. The above public authority relied on section 31 of FOIA (law enforcement) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority was entitled to rely on section 31 of FOIA to withhold the requested information and the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.
