10 May 2016, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested information relating to the Mail on Sunday’s story about Lord Janner published on 21 June 2015. The Commissioner’s decision, on the balance of probabilities, is that the CPS does not hold the requested information. However, as the CPS issued its response more than 20 working days after receiving the request, it breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the CPS to take any remedial actions to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 1: Not upheld FOI 10: Upheld
