See exemption under Section 31(1)(a) prevention or detection of crime,
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (England, Wales and NI). Note that this
exemption is subject to both a test of prejudice and the public interest
test.

>> No doubt, there would be all sorts of DP and Child Protection implications

>> I doubt that Number 10 is a good example as it goes with the office.
