Leicestershire Police
The complainant has requested to know the number of complainants who had made sexual abuse allegations about Greville Janner. Leicestershire Police disclosed some information. However, it also withheld some information, citing the exemptions at section 31 (law enforcement) and section 38 (health and safety) of the FOIA. The Commissioner investigated its application of the exemption at sections 31(1)(a), (b) and (c). The Commissioner’s decision is that Leicestershire Police was entitled to rely on section 31 to withhold the requested information. However, the Commissioner found procedural breaches of sections 1, 10 and 17 of the FOIA in the way Leicestershire Police handled the request.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 31: Complaint not upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
