Durham Constabulary withheld the requested information under section 40(2) of FOIA (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: Durham Constabulary correctly withheld the requested information under section 40(2) of FOIA as disclosing the information would be unlawful. However Durham Constabulary breached section 17(1) as its refusal of the request was not adequate. The Commissioner does not require Durham Constabulary to take any corrective steps.
