Thames Valley Police

The complainant requested information relating to the wedding of a relative of a member of the Royal Family. Thames Valley Police (TVP) disclosed some of the requested information and refused to confirm or deny whether it held other information, relying on the exemptions provided by sections 23(5) (security bodies), 31(3) (prejudice to law enforcement) and 40(5) (personal information) of the FOIA. It also confirmed that it held some of the requested information, but refused to disclose it, citing the exemptions provided by the following sections of the FOIA: 24(1) (national security), 31(1)(a) and (b) (prejudice to prevention or detection of crime and to the apprehension or prosecution of offenders), 38(1)(a) and (b) (endangerment to health and safety). The Commissioner’s decision is that TVP cited section 40(5) to some extent incorrectly, but finds that the remainder of the refusal was correct. In relation to the incorrect citing of section 40(5), TVP is now required to disclose the confirmation or denial.
