Staffordshire Police
26 June 2017, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested information relating to the authorisation that led to the outsourcing of Staffordshire Police pensions to a third company ‘Mouchel/Kier’. Having answered previous connected requests, Staffordshire Police (the police) refused this request relying on the section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the police acted correctly in relying on the section 14(1) FOIA exemption. However, she found that the police breached section 10 as it failed to provide a substantive response within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the police to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 14(1): Not upheld FOI 10: Upheld
