Information Commissioners Office
3 June 2015, Local government (Other)
The complainant made a freedom of information request to the ICO for correspondence between the ICO and the Independent Police Complaints Commission regarding the Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset Police. The ICO disclosed some of the requested information but withheld other information under the exemptions in section 31(1)(g) (law enforcement), section 40(2) (personal information) and section 44(1)(a) (prohibitions on disclosure). The Commissioner has investigated the complaint and found that the section 31(1)(g), section 40(2) and section 44(1)(a) are all engaged and that in the case of section 31 the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
