The complainant has requested information about Nottinghamshire Police’s use of covert communications data capture technology. Nottinghamshire Police would neither confirm nor deny holding any information citing the exemptions at sections 23(5) (security bodies), 24(2) (national security), 30(3) (investigations and proceedings) and 31(3) (law enforcement) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that sections 23(5) and 24(2) were cited correctly and so Nottinghamshire Police was not obliged to confirm or deny whether the requested information was held.
