Discussions and conclusions
Discussions and conclusions
Whilst we have been referred to the First-tier Tribunal decision in Edward Williams v (i) The Information Commissioner and (ii) the Home Office [2024] UKFTT 00003, we are not bound by that decision and we have not been assisted by it.
We note that the scope of the request relates to “training material regarding push back at sea”. We have therefore confined our considerations regarding the contents to the SOP to material that falls within the scope of the request. We are satisfied that the entirety of the PowerPoint falls within the scope of the request.
