Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire
7 October 2015, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested minutes of Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner’s (LPCC) Strategic Scrutiny meetings. LPCC withheld information within the scope of the request on the basis that section 22 of FOIA (information intended for future publication) applied. It subsequently published that information. The complainant disputes that the published information is the information she requested. The Commissioner has investigated LPCC’s response to the request. The Commissioner’s view is that the published information is within the scope of an objective reading of the request and as this information has already been made public the Commissioner does not require the LPCC to take any steps as a result of this decision notice. However, he finds that LPCC breached section 17(1) of FOIA by failing to issue a valid refusal notice within the statutory time limit.
