Home Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50402011 (15 November 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested details of any -˜section five-™ authority issued by the Home Office to the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). Such an authority would allow it to possess, purchase or acquire firearms. The Home Office refused to confirm whether or not it had issued such an authority to ACPO on the basis that to do so would be likely to prejudice the prevention or detection of crime. The Commissioner agrees with the Home Office-™s decision and has concluded that it does not need to confirm whether or not it holds the requested information.
