Avon and Somerset Constabulary (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50347221 (30 March 2011)
Summary: The complainant made two requests to Avon and Somerset Constabulary (the Constabulary), both of which have been considered by the Commissioner in this Notice. The first request relates to investigations into the death of the complainant-™s father; the second to alleged advice given to the complainant-™s MEP by the Constabulary-™s Chief Constable, confirming that a police surgeon had been investigated by the General Medical Council (GMC). Following investigation, the Commissioner has concluded that the Constabulary does not hold any relevant information to either request. However, in not citing this in its initial responses to the complainant-™s requests or making this sufficiently clear in the outcome of the internal review, the Constabulary breached section 1(1)(a). Furthermore, in not replying to the complainant-™s first request within the prescribed 20 working days the Constabulary breached section 10(1).
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
