Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police
26 July 2017, Police and criminal justice
The complainant asked West Yorkshire Police to say if, during September 2016, they employed a named person. West Yorkshire Police relied on the section 40(5) FOIA (personal information) exemption to neither confirm nor deny employing the named person. The Commissioner’s decision is that West Yorkshire Police had applied the section 40(5) FOIA exemption correctly. The Commissioner does not require West Yorkshire Police to take any steps to comply with the legislation. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
FOI 40: Not upheld
