Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000 Request

I write in response to your email to the National Crime Agency dated
03/02/2022.

The NCA is not listed as a ‘public authority’ in Schedule 1 of the Freedom
of Information Act 2000, and as such is not obliged to respond to Freedom
of Information requests. The NCA is also not listed as a ‘Scottish public
authority’ in Schedule 1 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act
2002.

Any information from, or relating to, the NCA is subject to an absolute
exemption from disclosure by other public authorities by virtue of Section
23 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (as amended by the Crime and
Courts Act 2013).

From time to time the NCA will make limited information available on its
website at [1]www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk.

While we will not respond to specific requests, we will consider written
suggestions about information we may consider publishing in the future.

For more information about the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please
contact the Information Commissioner’s Office or visit its website at

Yours sincerely,
