West Midlands Police
The complainant has requested information from West Midlands Police (“the public authority”) in relation to how many staff had been dismissed since 2012/2013. The public authority refused to comply with the request, citing section 12 of FOIA – cost of compliance exceeds the appropriate amount. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority was entitled to refuse to comply with the request in accordance with section 12 of FOIA. The Commissioner also finds that the public authority has complied with its obligations under section 16 of FOIA to offer advice and assistance. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.FOI 12: Complaint not upheld FOI 16: Complaint not upheld
