The complainant has requested information associated with illicit small boat crossings. The Met Office disclosed some information and withheld the remainder under regulation 12(5)(a) of the EIR, which concerns international relations, national security and public safety. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Met Office is entitled to rely on regulation 12(5)(a) to withhold the requested information but that the timeliness of the Met Office’s internal review didn’t comply with regulation 11(2). The Commissioner doesn’t require further steps.
