Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria (Police and Criminal Justice) FS50682191: ICO 26 Sep 2017

The complainant submitted a request for information composed of nine questions, about the Independent Police Complaints Scrutiny Panel, set up by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria (‘the PCC’). The PCC disclosed some information in response to the request and withheld some under section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. It also said that compliance with one question would exceed the costs limit at section 12(1) of the FOIA and said that it did not hold the information requested in the remaining questions. The Commissioner’s decision is that the PCC was entitled to withhold information under section 40(2) and that it was entitled to rely on section 12(1) to refuse to comply with one question. She also found that on the balance of probabilities, the PCC does not hold any further information. The Commissioner does not require the PCC to take any steps.
