The complainant has requested information about migrants attempting to cross the English Channel in small boats. The Home Office relied on section 27(1)(a) (international relations) of FOIA to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office was correct to rely on section 27(1)(a) of FOIA to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the Home Office to take any further steps.
