(h)      we have reason to suspect that unlawful activity, or misconduct of a serious nature, which relates to our functions or activities has been, is being or may be engaged in and you giving access would be likely to prejudice the taking of appropriate action in relation to those matters; or

(i)         giving access would be likely to prejudice one or more enforcement related activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body; or
