Greater Manchester Police (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50425712 (26 March 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information relating to the media strategy of Greater Manchester Police in relation to the August riots. GMP initially refused to disclose the information requested and cited a number of exemptions. During the Information Commissioner-™s investigation GMP withdrew reliance on these exemptions in relation to the majority of the information and this information was disclosed. This decision notice concerns any procedural breaches in the handling of this request and the Commissioner-™s decision is that GMP breached the FOIA by failing to provide a valid response to the request within 20 working days of receipt and by failing to identify all information it held that fell within the scope of the request.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
