West Midlands Police
2 June 2016, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested information relating to the use of Thai speaking interpreters by West Midlands Police (WMP). WMP refused to confirm or deny whether it held this information and cited the exemption provided by section 30(3) (information held for the purposes of an investigation) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that WMP cited section 30(3) correctly so it was not obliged to confirm or deny whether it held the requested information. The Commissioner also, however, finds that WMP breached the FOIA through failing to respond to the request within 20 working days of receipt.
FOI 17: Upheld FOI 30: Not upheld
