Hampshire Constabulary

The complainant requested information, in a four-part request, relating to meetings Hampshire Police held with the Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner, together with details of complaints / allegations, associated correspondence and actions taken. Hampshire Constabulary provided some of the requested information. It refused to provide the remainder citing section 12(1) of FOIA, as to do so would exceed the appropriate cost and time limit. The Commissioner’s decision is that Hampshire Constabulary is not obliged to comply with the request under section 12(1) of FOIA. She finds that Hampshire Constabulary did not comply with its section 16 of FOIA obligations, in that it did not provide advice and assistance to the complainant in relation to how he might refine his request with a view to bringing it within the cost limit. However, the additional explanation provided in this decision notice means that it is no longer required to do so. No steps are required to ensure compliance with the legislation.
