Cumbria Constabulary (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50225815 (23 March 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested the number of prosecutions for speeding offences on the M6 during 2007; this was to be broken down into 5mph speed bands from 70mph to 90+mph. Having originally refused to provide a breakdown of the numbers of prosecutions (although a total figure was provided), the public authority went on to provide the majority of the information. However, it declined to provide a breakdown of the two lowest speed thresholds, i.e. 70-75mph and 76-80mph, stating this was withheld under the exemptions at sections 31 (law enforcement) and 38 (health and safety). Some further information, which was identified during the Commissioner-™s investigation, was withheld under section 12 (cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit). Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2010/0071 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 31 - Complaint Not upheld
