The complainant has requested information relating to an investigation about complaints made by him against others. He also asked for Home Office guidance from 1998. The Office of Police & Crime Commissioner for Humberside withheld the information under section 40(1) and 40(2) of the FOIA and explained that it did not hold any Home Office guidance from 1998. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Office of Police & Crime Commissioner for Humberside was correct to withhold the information. He considers that the requested information was the complainant’s personal data and should all be withheld under section 40(1). The Commissioner also considers that, on the balance of probabilities, the Office of Police & Crime Commissioner for Humberside was correct to state that it does not hold the Home Office guidance. The Commissioner does not require the Office of Police & Crime Commissioner for Humberside to take any steps as a result of this decision.
