West Yorkshire Police
12 May 2016, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested information about an alleged informant. West Yorkshire Police neither confirmed nor denied holding the information, citing the exemptions at section 23(5) (security bodies) and section 24(2) (national security) in the alternative as its basis for doing so. It also cited 30(3) (investigations) and 40(5) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that West Yorkshire Police has applied sections 23(5) and 24(2) in the alternative, appropriately to the requested information. The Commissioner does not require West Yorkshire Police to take any further steps as a result of this decision.
