Police Service of Northern Ireland
19 January 2016, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested information relating to an investigation undertaken by the Historical Enquiries Team (HET), then part of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). PSNI refused the request in reliance on sections 30(1)(a)(i) and 40(2), and cited sections 23(5) and 24(2) in respect of the duty to confirm or deny that it held certain information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the PSNI was entitled to rely on the exemptions claimed and he does not require any steps to be taken. However, the Commissioner also finds that the PSNI breached section 10 FOIA for failing to respond to the request within twenty working days.
