The complainant has submitted two requests for recorded information from Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council. The information the complainant seeks relates to a police investigation of a complaint about a dummy CCTV camera at a specified address. Having first refused the complainant’s requests in reliance on section 14(1) of the FOIA, on review, the Council determined that the requested information was subject to an application of sections 31(1), 40(2) and 41(1).  The Commissioner’s decision is that Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council is not entitled to rely on section 31(1)(a) in respect of the complainant’s first request.
