The complainant has requested statistical information about child abuse investigations conducted by Cheshire Constabulary. The Constabulary refused to comply with the request because it considered it to be vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Constabulary has correctly relied on section 14(1) of the FOIA to refuse the request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
