Wiltshire Police

The complainant has requested information about possible drug use by a murderer from Wiltshire Police (“WP”). WP initially refused to confirm or deny holding the requested information, citing section 40(5)(personal information) of the FOIA. It later revised this, instead refusing to confirm or deny holding the information citing section 30(3)(investigations and proceedings) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation it revised its position again, advising that no information is held. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the civil standard of the balance of probabilities, no information is held. No steps are required.
