Summary: The complainant has requested a report into an internal investigation regarding expenses claimed by a named individual. The Essex Police Authority (now the Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex) (-PCC for Essex-) refused to provide this citing section 40(2) (Unfair disclosure of personal data) as its basis for doing so. It upheld this position at internal review. The Commissioner-s decision is that the PCC for Essex is entitled to rely on section 40(2) as the basis for withholding the requested information. No steps are required.
