The complainant has requested information about the interpretation of several pieces of legislation. Northumbria Police would neither confirm nor deny whether it held the requested information, on the grounds that doing so would exceed the appropriate cost limit set out under section 12(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Northumbria Police was entitled to rely on section 12(2) to neither confirm nor deny whether it held the information and that appropriate section 16(1) advice and assistance has been provided.
