North Yorkshire Police

The complainant requested information relating to a document known as the ‘Scheme of Delegation’ pursuant to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (the ‘IOPC’). North Yorkshire Police (‘NYP’) denied holding the information for part of the request and cited section 21 (information accessible to applicant by other means) for the remainder. Following an internal review it said it did not hold any of the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, NYP did not hold the requested information and it therefore complied with the duty set out at section 1(1) (general right of access) of FOIA. However, by failing to respond to the request and issue a refusal notice within the statutory timescale of 20 working days, the Commissioner finds that NYP has breached sections 10 (time for compliance) and 17 (refusal of a request) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
