Lancashire Constabulary
12 November 2015, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested information relating to an investigation into claims relating to the conduct of Lancashire Constabulary and its officers in its dealings with Cyril Smith in the 1960s and 1970s. Lancashire Constabulary refused to disclose the requested information citing section 30(1) and 30(2) (investigation and proceedings conducted by public authorities) and section 40(2) (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner has investigated its application of section 30(1). His decision is that Lancashire Constabulary correctly applied section 30(1)(a). He requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
FOI 30: Not upheld
