The complainant requested information about local protocols in connection with guidance contained within Police Negotiation Board (PNB) Circular 10/4. Despite the intervention of the Commissioner, the South Wales Police Authority (now the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales) has not responded to the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the PCC for South Wales breached section 10 of the FOIA in that it failed to provide a valid response to the request within 20 working days of receipt. The Commissioner requires the public authority to issue a response under the FOIA.
