The complainant submitted a request to the London Borough of Lambeth (the Council) seeking information about any evaluation undertaken about a safeguarding programme run by a named organisation. The Council refused to confirm or deny whether it held information falling within the scope of the request on the basis of section 31(3) (law enforcement). The Commissioner has concluded that the Council is entitled to rely on section 31(3) of FOIA and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining this exemption. No steps are required.
